Speaking from experience, I hope you got the security version of the valve stem caps.

Can you post a link to the puddle lights you bought? Yours look better than others that I've seen.

Yep. I had some nice blue and white BMW ones, that hadn't been on a week when I came out from lunch and they were all gone.

Let me know. I have handled stuff like this for a BMW friend in Japan. I even have Amazon Prime, so inbound shipping is free.

The door lights are cool. Unfortunately the vibrancy of the color fades fairly quickly. Probably need to be replaced once a year, but they're not too expensive.

My Cayenne ones look like this which are better than my other ones, but the car isn't used too much, so the light isn't shining through the lens as often.




My 997 ones look like the same brand you have with the circle around them, and they faded fairly quickly - note all the red is pretty much gone.


i have the valve stem caps too 👍

Yep, non Porsche owners will filch whatever that is not bolted-down. I lost my pricey valve caps and tow caps 3x already. Grrr.... I only buy the cheap, generic Autozone chrome caps and cheapest, Walmart tow covers now.
