The puddle lights I purchased are replacement logo puddle lights that just snap in as direct replacements. They project the word "PORSCHE" on the ground. Is this what you are looking for? If so, there are lots of aftermarket ones available at about 1/3 the price of OEMs, which are available at Delaware and Suncoast, etc. I am not sure if the OEMs project a better beam, but I am very satisfied with the aftermarket versions I put in.

Delaware sent me the following so I'm going to keep the original ones and wear galoshes.

We don't show any other options for a brighter bulb. The only part number we have is the OEM lights. Part number is 958-632-411-00.

After using the new light modules in the back for a while, I have to say that the new ones are almost too bright. Hard to maintain night vision when loading stuff into the trunk now.

The real problem is Porsche's Audi's chosen mounting position for the cargo lamps. If they had been aimed downward at the floor of the cargo area, the original lights would have been tolerable and the new ones would be great. As it stands, most of the light just goes straight into your eyes.

Thanks for this tip! It saved me a lot of time and frustration. The updated (6 LED) trunk lights make a huge difference.

Does anyone know if these same LEDs can be used to replace the dim lights in the driver and front passenger foot-wells?

When I went to this link, ebay said it wouldn’t fit my vehicle. I have a 2017 base model Macan. Any thoughts?

I really don't know. My only experience was with my 2022 Macan S.

I also have 2017 Base and I recently got these off eBay. They work great after I learned that the cargo lights only light up in the dark.

Definitely a worthwhile mod but the instructions could be a lot better.
Good tip. I should have read this before I tried installing mine.I couldn't snap back the housing all the way -- it left a little gap at one end, so I just put both lamp modules back in with the slight gap. I'll remove them and push back the black ferrure and see if the housing snaps together. Thanks for the tip.

I took both lamps out and pushed back the black ferrure today and the the housing snapped in all the way. I plugged both lamp assemblies back in (which wasn't that easy since you had to line up the thin prongs on the LED light with the plug) and now I'm back in business. Thanks again.

Yeah, I need to re-do the first one, myself... I didn't figure out what was wrong until I installed the second one.
