Default 993 Driving Lights

Are there any replacement bulbs for the front driving lights of the 993?

The present ones look very dim and yellow compared to the "white" light from the headlambs.

Any suggestions please....

As an alternative, get the H3s from someone like liteswap and the little marker lights can be upgraded by using a BMW part (10w halogen bulb). I do not remember the part number but I posted it a while ago. Use the search.

I installed the LEDs and if i am honest I am not sure i like them that much, as I don't have Xenon head lights.

I like the sound of this H3s business could we have some more info?

i went through this before on my car, you can also get brighter bulbs from your delaler. ask for the 996 in headlight positioning bulb. the wattage is higher. they fit our cars socket

and i was told BMW has an even brighter one.

as for the fog light, use the sylvania silver star bulbs, they are much better looking and match the litronic look

there is more detail on the above in a previous thread, not the one posted to above though.

I have put in PIAA (Extreme white) H3.
The output is supposed to be 100W.
They work very well and are amazing.
Check their website.
I paid about $60 for both H3.
