Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

has anyone succesfully retro fitted the led runnin lights you get on the newer 911's to the 996 model? i like the look of them, but fear they will look naff if retrofitted, unless done professionally.. thanks

POST 2Original post

One word - don't. Ok, two words - don't. Please ... :hand:

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

:floor: thought as much, thought id ask mind :dont know:

POST 4Original post

It's another 'each to their own' thing but I think front LEDs / DRLs may be pushing it a bit. Rear LEDs you can get away with (yours look smart), fronts I personally don't even like on the 997.2, and think they just would not suit a 996 at all. Still, variety is the spice of life and all that; if you do it, post up some pics! :thumb:

POST 5Original post

I simply fear they will look naff if retrofitted. If I'm honest, I don't think they suit 99% of NEW cars!

POST 6Original post

100% agree. In a nutshell, Audi 'invents' LED DRLs with the R8 a few years back, most other manufacturers frantically copy the idea and we see LED and non-LED DRLs on various cars launched over the last few years (with varying degrees of success, although most look awful), then Brussels pick up on it and make it law for all European cars to have DRLs by 2012 and it gets even worse. With worse surely to come... :roll: On the positve side, my missus loves them; 'I saw one of those Audis with the Christmas Tree lights on the front of it today'... :grin:

POST 7Original post

.....agreed - they just look like fairy lights :floor:

POST 8Original post

No, no and thrice no. I have a seen several cars (not Porches) that have had them retro fitted and most look awful. :hand: :hand: :hand:

POST 9Original post

What's next, blue bulbs on the main beam to look like Xenon's :nooo:

POST 10Original post

I recently saw DRLs on a clapped out Hyundai hatchback and in the rear window was 'baby on board' style sign saying 'chav on board'......

POST 11Original post

come on you know you want to! :hand: Save me from boredom at work!

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

nooo dont need them , i fitted original HID projector beam headlights from a slightly later 996 onto mine as did GT4 but if thats what takes your fancy then fine !

POST 13Original post

If you must these look reasonable, as fairly subtle, but can't say i would. http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996/179204-running-lights-mod-your-996-a.html Must concentrate on work and not get distracted :success:

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
