Car: Cayenne 957 Tip 3.6, year 2007

i am thinking to replace the bumper light (above the turn indicator) with the LED type.

will it give error in dash ?



many thanks !

 

 

Most likely. You will probably need one of those gold 50W 6 Ohm resistors that you install across the two wires going to the light. I just did a complete LED light change on the front of my pickup and also rebuilt the wiring harness on my Cayenne as part of the Misha widebody project since I'm changing from the regular 957 Turbo S lights to those from the 958. I converted the white LED fog lights in the 958 set to DRLs wired in through an SPDT relay.

On the Cayenne, I used the encapsulated black box Canbus compatible versions from Amazon. These didn't work on my pickup and had to use the exposed gold metal, older style ones.

 

Update:
i fixed the parking light inside a half inch PVC socket (for domestic water piping ,without thread, grey color).
then, i put them inside the bumper behind the parking light housing.
that eliminates the error on dash.

i didn't want to use the load resistor, because the load resistor can get very hot, it may cause damages, it is also dangerous to cause fire.

it is now re-wired to turn on during unlock, also as DRL (always turn on).
