Default LED Spar 12V Accessory wire connection

Hello All,

I’m a brand new Porsche owner; just picked up a ‘07 Cayman 987.1.

My first mod will be changing out the fog light for the led spar. I’m looking to wire those to stay on at all times.

Anyone have any recommendations on a wire or fuse that I can tap into? Any reply is greatly appreciated!

joe (the designer) seems like he's pretty accessible. i wouldn't be surprised if he'd be happy to help you out. i think his contact info is available on his led spars website.

The front end control unit (the one that controls the headlights) is right side of luggage compartment. I would tap it there.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I was able to get very detail instructions from Joe. I wired it to the passenger side washer heater. It took less than 30 min. Highly recommend wiring the spars as DRLs!

i've often wondered if there are any drawbacks to simply running with the regular nighttime lights on during the day...every day.

I have my headlamds set to come on when I start the car and run them all the time.. My Cayman is silver and tends to blend in with the road, particularly on cloudy days, dark thirty, and when the sun is low. I think any additional light you can throw is important in this time of distracted and self-centered drivers.
