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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Since the 996 has no option for Daytime Running Lights, do my friends herein use the fog lights, head lights or no lights during daytime driving? /X3

POST 6Original post

My Canadian 996.2 came to me with the fog lights always on.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think Canada required DRL long before we got that option in the USA. /X3

POST 8Original post

There was a cool little trick posted on Rennlist a few years ago that I use. Take a 2" diameter or so O-Ring and put it on your headlight switch. You pull it out and put the o-ring on. Th O ring prevents the headlight switch from retracting when off. This makes the fog lights stay on when the ignition is on. I did that a few years ago, and switched the fog lights to yellow LED bulbs. So the car always has yellow fogs on. Works perfectly.

Hm, interesting! I know there's a complicated way to do this with re-wiring, relays, etc. I like simple!

POST 10Original post

Ja I use the 2� O ring, it�s brilliant however I would like the rear lights to always come on as well with the ignition switch, any ideas. I know, I know I could just turn the side lights on but why not complicate life.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What about the very small parking light bulb in the main headlight stack. Can that be seen as a DRL? /X3

I tried putting in a brighter bulb, still don't think it's bright enough.

Not certain if this answers your question, but I used the BAX9S LED bulbs in the picture below for parking lights. You can find them on Amazon. They are very bright and white which works well with the Philips D2s X-Treme Vison Gen 2 bulbs i added to my headlights. Ignore the Philips halogen bulbs in the picture below. Just part of a screen shot I took a while back for someone.

I just switched my fogs to LED and installed the O-Ring. (I used a 1 7/8 O-ring). What a great low cost low risk hack! Thank you!
