Anyway, I actually installed the L.E.D.s as soon as I got them on Wednesday.

I have a 2000 996 c2 fitted with xenon lights....lately I found out there are aftermarket bulbs that can fit with the assembly.

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.

I have a 2000 996 c2 fitted with xenon lights....lately I found out there are aftermarket bulbs that can fit with the assembly. Can someone pls explain to me how many lights is there in the xenon assembly? Fog lights? High Beam? Low Beam (factory xenon)? And there is one yellow dim lights too? Because I want to change out this dim yellow light and I just don;'t know what it is.... this light turns on when I turn the light dial clockwise one click....definitely not the high beam....
I just bought a pair of H6W L.E.D. parking lights from the UK. I installed them last night and are very happy with them. They are even whiter than the Litronics (Xenon)! I'll try to take a picture today.

Holy krikey, Prog. You must get back to us with that. I CAN'T wait to see how they look. Brilliant idea.
By the way, there were two different types of the LED bulbs on their site. How did you know which one to get? One listed voltage safe up to 14.5V and the other stated voltage safe up to 16V. I noticed you got the 16V, so I assume that's the way to go? Cheers.
I got tired of replacing those blue-coated aftermarket H6W bulbs (Philips BlueVision, Hoen, etc.) -- not only were they still a bit yellowish, they kept burning out after a couple of months! I decided to try the L.E.D.s to see if they would match the Xenons better and last longer. Well, they are whiter than the Xenons so that's good and L.E.D.s are supposed to last forever but I guess we'll see. Some report problems with L.E.D.s failing due to excessive heat in the headlight enclosure but I don't think that should be a problem in this case because the Xenons run much cooler than the halogens. I'll post some pictures tonight.
No problem. I pasted a link beneath the picture above but it is easy to miss. This is what I ordered:
H6W BAX9 - 9mm BC 6 Leds White Bulb Offset Pins (Pair) �7.48
http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/product_i...54b0fe8568ccb1
They're 12 volts but have a built in voltage regulator and should be safe up to 16 volts according to the website.
Like Programmatore said, they do seem to. Indeed, I went through 2 pairs of the 'blue' bulbs in my previous car before going back to stock. It was always such a hassle. I'm hoping these LEDs solve the problem. Indeed, the light color should much more nicely blend with the Xenon headlights.
I will recommend that you never touch the bulbs with your bare hands. Always wear gloves (latex, for example) when changing them because the natural oil from your body definitely contributes to creating a hot spot on the bulb and they consequently burn out faster.
How many Rennlister's does it take to change a light bulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 conspiracy theorist to proclaim that light bulbs are really a Bush tactic to take focus off of Iraq and the WMD issue.
1 to redirect the enlightening post to the Abyss.
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
P.S. I did not write these, but as they say successfully stolen is half completed.
You forgot about the 3 posters who claim that the lamp was a design flaw that Porsche refuses to acknowledge and should be covered even though the warrantee has expired.
Thanks for all the support from all the members....and I ordered the LEDS right away! Now waiting for delivery.....will take a week at least I think since I live in Asia....
Sorry. I will post pictures tonight. I was out helping a friend shop for a car last night. I found a nice 2002 CLK 430 Coupe for $27K. AMG package, very clean inside and out, below average miles, clean Carfax, 1 owner and checked out by my independent mechanic.
Anyway, I actually installed the L.E.D.s as soon as I got them on Wednesday. The H6W (BAX9) bayonet fit perfectly -- I didn't have to force it to fit or anything like that. The L.E.D.s are not as bright as halogens but in my case
they were a lot brighter
since my second pair of halogens had burnt out! Sorry I can't take comparison pictures but I don't want to buy a new set of halogens just so I can compare them to the L.E.D.s. The L.E.D.s are definitely whiter than the Xenons but I like the look. When the sun started to set last night I turned the city lights on (but not the headlights) and the car looked mean! The ricer boys were checking it out as I was driving -- even got a thumbs up and a nod "wassup?" from one of them. I guess the L.E.D.s get the
UnderRICER Laboratories
seal of approval. LOL!
Good on you.
Comparo photos are not needed, so don't sweat it. I have the halogens on now and know full well how yellow they look. If the LEDs are 'almost' as bright and don't have that absurd contrast with my xenons, I'll be as sound as a pound.
Alright, here are some pictures.
Picture 1: The L.E.D.s are definitely not as bright as the stock halogen bulb but they are a lot whiter.
Picture 2: The L.E.D.s look whiter than the Hoen Xenonmatch H7 bulb I got for the foglight.
Picture 3: The L.E.D.s get a little drowned out by the Xenon/Litronic lowbeam but it is a good match. The Hoen Xenonmatch H7 bulb is pretty close to the color of the Xenon lowbeam as well.
