Read evidence and context

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.

- MANY MANY parts websites and bulb websites show H7's being used for both high and lowbeams.

The high beam in that case - the H7 - is only used when you pull the turnsignal back to flash the lights.

Suggestion
If you look at the chart below you'll see where H7 highbeams are used - only with HID lowbeams.

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.

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

Some interesting stuff can be found at: LED lamps (street-legal) | OSRAM Automotive Like: https://www.osram.com/appsj/pdc/pdf.../pdc/pdf.do?cid=GPS01_3695161&vid=PP_EUROPE_Europe_eCat&lid=EN&mpid=ZMP_4063288 And: https://look.ams-osram.com/m/686d0479b824638f/original/LEDriving-Retrofits-Exchange-overview-EN.pdf Not to say these are legal in the US - but some apparently are TUV approved in Europe for the cars specifically listed.. Will have to do some research on these. Certainly the high/low-beam bulb looks much different from any of the Chinese LED bulbs.. Looking at their compatibility chart - the 987 isn't specifically listed - but there is a general "9" category, that shows some of the bulbs the 987 does use: So is there a significant difference between the Osram LEDs and the Chinese? For our low beam (H7) - they show: WallyMart has these for around $76: Robot or human? For our high beam (H9) they show: That bulb is $90-110, depending on vendor. Walmart so far is the cheapest I found: Walmart Link It REALLY doesn't look much different from the Chinese ones. And has the same IMHO defective design - having to do with two surface mount emitters on different sides of a post vs a circular 360 degree coverage from a coil filament. If anyone does tryout the rather expensive Osram LED bulbs, please do let us know - and how they're doing.. NOTE - MANY MANY parts websites and bulb websites show H7's being used for both high and lowbeams. THAT IS WRONG! If you look at the chart below you'll see where H7 highbeams are used - only with HID lowbeams. I'd assume that's because the HID lowbeam is actually a bi-xenon light assembly, that does normal hi/low from the same bulb by moving a mechanical shutter over the reflector to cut off part for the low beam. The high beam in that case - the H7 - is only used when you pull the turnsignal back to flash the lights. The correct bulbs for the all-halogen stock systems are: H7 lowbeam, H9 highbeam. NOTE: I've started this in the 987 forum since I think a lot of 987 owners with halogen (or Chinese LEDs) might be interested, but I'll possibly add feeder-links in some other model forums if any interest is shown here.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
