The other day I started my 2008 997.1 GT2 and it gave me the dashboard error to check right front light. Curiously I went up there and sure enough the bulb was out, giving me a moment of horror wondering how these things can be changed. When searching around I realized it's easy to find information about the 997.1 Turbo DRL bulbs but not for the 997.1 GT2. Does anyone have a link to information about how to identify and change these bulbs? Are there any good 'error free' bulb upgrades to consider since I'm doing the job? I've always been a bit bummed by how little light they put out, so it would be great to do a bulb upgrade while I'm at it.
To help clarify...I'm talking only about the small white lights on the front bumper of the GT2, nothing to do with the actual headlights. Thanks in advance to all my GT2 people!
Thank you my friend...that is unbelievably helpful. I did not receive the owners manual when I bought my GT2 but have ordered it and hope to have it soon (coming from Germany). I really appreciate it, and am so happy that it's a very easy fix that doesn't require me to pull anything significant apart.
Project complete, and here are a few photos to see the comparison as I went.
The original incandescent bulb is on the passenger side, the the new Lumaworx CANBUS compliant LED bulb is on the drivers side. Final shot is with both LEDs installed. No error codes, just as expected and hoped for.
