New front parking lights
This is for advanced 928 guru's only, but it's actually possible to replace a light bulb! Oh yeah...
It was kinda hard because you need to consider if you're gonna melt something like the plastic lens in front of it, the wires and the fuse. Luckily it's wired in serial with the 55 watt fog light and the 16 amp fuse can do 192 watt, so that's plenty. Also, since the fog light isn't melting the plastic, the parking light shouldn't either.
I'm happy with the result
I didn't the dark yellow look it had before, but I do want to keep things original so no blue xenon or leds or anything.
If you're gonna shop for new bulbs, it needs a BA9s base.

Fog lights are glass. Running lights lenses are plastic. Does that make a difference?...I don't know.

Perhaps the American version is different, but the euro type 1 is a bit strange: the fog lights are glass with a plastic lens behind it. And my plastic lens somehow got a bit fague on left side. Like the plastic cooked or something. No matter though, my superb 10 watt bulb is saving the day. And doing that cheaply
