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.

From what I've learned in cleaning radiators, everything up there is soft until you hit the bumper beam.

Suggestion
Does anyone here know how the early 996TT front bumperettes are attached, and/or whether those locations could readily be used for auxiliary lights?

Suggestion
Simpler still to tap into the factory foglight circuit; if you use LEDs everywhere the load should be low enough to allow that.

Or just pull the factory bulbs and use the other fogs by themselves.
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'm pretty sure any local off-road shop can help you figure that out. Shops like that rig up lights in random places on trucks/SUVs all day, every day.
For specifics on this car in particular, you'll have to ask the guy in the video. Not sure if he's on this forum. I wouldn't be surprised if he was.
The owner�s quite active on social and might share a lead. But heck, the Cayenne crowd have probably vetted vendors, solved MOST issues, and forgotten more about �putting lights where Porsche forgot to� than we need to know..
When in college, I had some fog lights rigged up into the bumper of my VW Scirroco (to date myself) done by a local off-road shop. Work like that is easy-peasy for them as they do it all day, every day as supplemental lighting is like the most common mod on that scene.
From what I've learned in cleaning radiators, everything up there is soft until you hit the bumper beam. My WAG is that they're attached to that, with holes drilled through the styrofoam and outer shell. Running the wires should be simple. Simpler still to tap into the factory foglight circuit; if you use LEDs everywhere the load should be low enough to allow that. Or just pull the factory bulbs and use the other fogs by themselves.
In other words, easy peasy, as long as you don't mind making holes in your bumper cover.
I'm not afraid to admit I wear them occasionaly. Part of the fun excapism I enjoy since owning my childhood dreamcar. It's not a status symbol, it's a "enjoying life to the fullest" thing for me.
[QUOTE=Rex Tsui;19805640]Just did this for my car. I think it looks good.
It does! Well played, sir.
I wonder if having the lights a bit further apart would be useful. Does anyone here know how the early 996TT front bumperettes are attached, and/or whether those locations could readily be used for auxiliary lights?
