Recently I've seen after-market front bumpers for sale with DSL's that look similar to those used on 997's.

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.

Recently I've seen after-market front bumpers for sale with DSL's that look similar to those used on 997's. Are these genuine Porsche parts for a 997, or are these made by a third-party? Anyone know what they cost?
There's a wiring hack that is done in the fuse box, go to this website for instructions, I did it to pass the Canadian import inspection but then removed it, but it did work and was easy

I've read all of the DSL mods. I'm talking about 997-style DSLs, not the kind that are everywhere on Ebay or in Autozone, and not doing the mod to make your parking lights work as DSL.
Similar to the ones shown here:

Wow, such emotional responses. I didn't realize these cars were sacred relics. People modify their 996's with all manner of aftermarket wings, bumpers, decals, taillights and more, but DSL's cross the line? I'm confused.
It's not a matter of "sacred relics" It's just a matter of "personal taste"
The key word is personal
Just about all of the LED solutions on a 996 that I have seen look tacked on.
And yes, we are an emotional bunch
It's funny because I tend to prefer understated (stock) to heavily modified cars, even if those mods are from the factory, but the DSL's that are on all new Porsches appeal to me.
I believe that techart makes LED DRLs for the 996 that function the same way as OEM lights (when you activate the turn signal, the LED on that side goes off, and they don't come on when the headlights are on). I think they are pretty expensive though...
I like the look....now ad some scoops on the air deflector vanes of the bumper, like the GT3 RS 4.0....an I'd be sold.
LOL....I meant....add the air deflector scoops on the bumper...no scoops! haha
Funny!!
Used to feel the same way...
Thank you, thank you, thank you....
Actually I almost lost a bet and was thisssss close to walking around with a Mohawk
Thank god I cheat !!!
PICTURES!!!
Well, after a couple of years of looking for DRLs that would look good on my MKi C2 Cab, I finally added these. I ordered several sets over the years and returned them all. I ended up fabricating my own brackets out of aluminum. The lights are recessed in the grill and are barely noticeable when off. This picture doesn't do them justice as they are very bright, like those on new Porsches and Mercedes. I'm very happy with the look and I don't think they look tacked on.
Where did you end up wiring these from? I bought the wicked 997 conversion bumper with the OEM 997 LEDs in it. So I have to figure out where to wire these off of.
