993 Driving Lights

[Guest]

Are there any replacement bulbs for the front driving lights of the 993?

The present ones look very dim and yellow compared to the "white" light from the headlambs.

Any suggestions please....

Ok someone on another forum has helped with LED replacement - you need to reverse the polarity though by grinding of the guide bars on the plastic plug that the bulbs go into.

Now I have a BMW bulb that improves the Porsche part by 6 watts : 10 watts in total. The part number is for the BMW part is 63-31-1-375-003

I have just ordered these and will collect them on Saturday

Thanks, I am talking about the "side lights" the First click on the light switch.

I have heard from someone that the LED don't look too great which is why I am just going to upgrade the 4 watt Porsche part for a 10 watt BMW one.

But thanks for the fog light info will take a look.

Ok I have got her back from the Paint Shop (Lancasters Cambridge) they have done a nice job, I asked them to keep it as long as needed for a good job and it is.

The Beemer bulbs are in and although its daylight you can see the difference next to each other. Much brighter of course with 6 watt extra. They will still look little orange next to the white light of the headlamps but a def improvement. Easy to fit in a couple of mins - unscrew the srew on the side lens and slide the unit forward to access the srew for the fog and side light lens then unscrew and slide along and foward. Thats it.

BMW part number is above.

Will,

For it is worth, i have just this week changed the sidelights on my 1995 C2 with some Phillips bulbs (10Watts) in a blue colour.. the finished effect is that they light up fairly white (albeit a bit blue !!) but no longer that weak yellow colour that the standard bulbs were....

i'm happy with them... you can buy them anywhere off the net.

hope that helps.
