They are all OEM Hella and the same. The OEM bulbs are incandescant bulbs.

Thanks guys!
71-3.0-911, it looks indeed like the original item used in the basket handle and rear window. I see the screws holding it are easily available underneath, pop it out and see if it is containing the same PCB as in my picture. I bet it does.
Cheers,
Tore

Thanks tore! In the next few days I'll pop it out of there and if it's the same, I'll order another new one from you.

Thanks for posting this Hans, and thanks Tore for another great project. I just ordered two sets of these for my C4.

Does the center reflector kit illuminate as marker lamps & stop lights or just one or the other?

The rear fog conversion kit uses 1156 type of bulbs and will only illuminate as brake lights.
Cheers,
Tore

Hey Andy,

Just stop lights as Tore notes. I personally wouldn't want to run with the rear fogs as driving lights - I fear it might confuse someone from behind that I'm braking.

I seem to recall reading a thread where you pioneered some of this technology. Thank you for all of your great contributions to this forum.

Ordered a kit this morning after I recieved a newsletter with this and the 3rd brake light being showcased.

Looks like I should have ordered the LEDs for the outer brake lights also to keep it balanced. Lets see if I can amend the order.

Thanks for posting this DIY. And thanks Tore, especially for doing the 3rd brake light kit.

Just ordered both the fog-brake conversion kit and the 3rd brake LED kit from Tore to match all my other ToreB / BergvilleFX LEDs on my 993!
