Default Hoen LED side light install

I like to drive with just the side lights on in daylight and these seemed like a good idea.
Hoen service was really good and delivery fast. Install so simple even I could do it.

Before








The new bulbs are quite stiff to fit into the slot and seem to only work one way round, take care not to touch the LED pads.

No they are not wired as DRLs, I just have the side lights on all the all the time, gives followers a nice view of my 997.2 LED rears

I went all the way and installed actual DLRs on mine to achieve same effect (i.e. a nice view of my 997.2 LED rears!!)

I hope that they improved their quality on these LED.
Their regular bulbs do offer a good match for xenon lights (Kelvin wise), but they are very poorly made.
