Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sorry if this is a duplicate thread guys. I need to confirm that the Headlight bulbs are indeed H7s and the Sidelight bulbs are 501s?? Also any1 know where I can get a good quality set of 8000K bulbs and bright LED sidelights. Thanks
Bulb specs are in the manual/handbook.
H7 (D2S), H6W (AFAIK - check this as it may differ on 996.2)
It's under "Practical Tips, Minor Repairs" section.
Not sure about bulb spec (8,000k). I know OPC, Design911, PorscheShop, EuroCarParts and GSF can supply the OEM spec (6,500k AFAIK).
The 6,500k will actually emit more light, just less blue.
Depends whether you want to see or be seen.
I bought my (SuperLux) LEDs from Ace Parts, probably do the xenons too.
Thanks for that mate!! If they are 6500k from factory then I dont think I'll bother changing them. They just dont seem THAT bright. I've had an Audi and a BMW and they only had 4300K so I assumed the Porker would be the same. I want to SEE MORE rather than be seen.
Just checked, OEM is 4,300k
4300k lights closely mimic the temperature of the spectrum of sunlight, so it is less fatiguing on your eyes and is a more natural light than the other temps. it also cuts through rain/snow more and doesnt reflect off of it as much, allowing you to see better in inclement weather. Finally, xenon bulbs get a little bluer with age. it takes about 100 hours (i think) of burn time for xenons to reach their real color.
They are all interchangeable and the Philips DS2 model is available in 6,000k too.
