06 997 C4s light upgrade

[247orbital]

ive never been happy with the side/running lights on my C4s , the Xenons are excellent but the running lights have yellow glow.

Can an anyone recommend an upgrade to give them a more modern look? I don't want an offensive bright white look just something similar to the main Xenon head light.

Many thanks,
Terence.

Replace with LED's. I recall there is a posting in the technical section on how to do this.

Hi!
This was one of the first things I changed on my C2s not long after I got it. It's possible to get LED bulbs with a near-as glow like the Xenon dipped beams off eBay for as little as £5 or less delivered.
Just remember to make sure that a replacement is CANBUS compatible, or the fault system will throw an error, claiming that the sidelights arent fitted at all.
It's straightforward to swap them using the plastic card supplied with the service book. 3 minutes tops.

Thanks very much for the advise, do you have any links to the correct types I require?

Not a recommendation just an suggestion for type. Many other sellers on ebay, check out their feedback before purchase and use UK filter.
