You need the 2 HP (high power?) LED 42mm festoon, rather than the 9 LED 44mm festoon for the overhead. The 9 LED is fine for the other lights, although you could use the 2 HPs there as well. The 2 HP festoon is at least as bright as the stock light. The 6 LED 31mm festoon works for the glovebox. I rather like the stark white LED lights. It's like HID versus standard headlights, so it feels like a modern update.

That's the one I have, and got it from the Ebay guy I referenced. I don't think superbrightleds.com carries them.

I have installed a few of these LED dimmers with the Jager kit. I've had on in my own car for several years now but with 3 light bars with 6 LEDS on each. It works fine. Adjusts from off to full bright. No flickering.

Ed,

That looks awesome, very clean. Are the LED bulbs a direct replacement or do you have to rewire?

I really like the rear lights, they came out nice. Very eye catching. Nice work.

Mike: The bulbs are a direct replacement, with the exception of having to bend the contacts in the receptables enough to fit in the 9 festoon lamps with are 2mm longer than stock. No big deal, it would be hard to goof up this process.

The 2HD festoon bulb I put in the maplight was the only one that was sensitive to polarity, unless I lucked out with all 5 other the 9 festoon bulbs and got them in properly. All told, about $35 for the 6-I didn't do the glove box light, as it isn't open much, and if I goof up and don't close the rear boot, no danger of that light staying on all night, as courtesy lights would.

The Red Porsche lettering looks great! It was long gone on my car, I ordered black, but now I wish I had ordered red.
