Default Turbo S Ducts - Bulb Replacement

Just got my Turbo S ducts and opened up the Hella Light. Cheap little unit that's not even sealed which is surprising from Porsche. Anyway, the bulb used is a standard C5W (12V C5W E1 2EL). Isn't this the same bulb used in our Engine bay and Frunk lights? Anyone have a link to a good LED replacement bulb or entire unit that fits and uses the OEM connector? I know this has been posted a bunch but i haven't seen anything recent so hoping there are some new options. Thanks!

I got them from www.type911.co.uk
Came with the ducts I bought from them. They also sell them individually, as I recall.
I'm sure others must sell them as well - try google the part #...
Cheers~

I wish they weren't so blue though.

The LED Hella bulbs definitely don't project like the factory fog lights.

It looks like Tore’s are presently out of stock. The festoon bulbs from 911 UK works nicely, and have a few more bulbs.

For a great solution on the wiring using the stock connectors, Top Gun found a great solution using VW connectors. They work perfectly. https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...o-s-ducts.html

I have these ducts/fogs too. One of the bulbs was defective so I just ordered a new pair from Amazon.

Philips 43mm festoon X-tremeVision LED 6000K Interior light (Pack of 1)
Amazon Amazon


These Phillips ones have a more neutral tone similar to my neutral hid/Tore led lights. The ones come with the ducts are more cooler/blue tone.
