Hello Porsche Pros,
I am aware of https://woodypeck.com/, so no need to point me to the site.
I would like to replace the bulbs in my 1989 S4. NOT THE HEADLIGHTS, just the front bumper lights (previous owner upgraded the headlights already). This is why a $175 kit from Woody Peck doesn't make sense for me.
What LEDs can I use as stock replacements? Here is what I know: H3 for the Aux/Main (50w) and H3 for the fogs (45w). BA9S for the side lights.
My main question is, using Amazon or eBay, can you point me to right light with the right connectors, right dimensions, etc.?

Here is the best H3 LED that I could find (correct size, correct beam pattern and same brightness as original) when I searched last year. Plug and play, no boxes, no modifications and inexpensive: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...-us-model.html

FWIW, I replaced all the front bulbs (except turn signals which screw up the circuit check) on my 1989 S4 with LEDs. They are an upgrade in light output, beam pattern, and spectrum. All were an easy DIY job. The driving lights were a tight fit with the added LED regulator, but the headlights were an easy swap. For context I am a new owner, with some mechanical skill, but no garage, and limited time. I have a lot of ideas for others with a similar situation (i.e. without full tool set-ups, garage with lift, spare parts cars, etc) if interested PM me. I have done a ton of little upgrades and projects on the car.
