Lumen LED bulbs
1 Attachment(s)
bought these for my 2006 997.1 and they threw light fault codes. they were installed for about 2 days and the car was not driven. cant return them cause i dont have the packaging they came in. i bought them from www.carid.com. will not seperate. they are really nice bulbs but i cant deal with the fault codes lol.. Not sure what other models they will fit. heres the list of what i got...
6- 1157 (red) cost new $14.99 each 2- H8 (white) cost new $17.49 each 2- 194/T10 (white) cost new $8.99 each 4- 7507 plazma (yellow) cost $29.95 each total was $262.70. i will sell for $200 shipped to anywhere in the lower 48. thanks |
Are they Canbus? If not that may explain the fault codes though Canbus bulbs do not guarantee no fault code. My understanding is that Canbus bulbs have a resistor biuilt in so the computer thinks they are regular bulbs. Did not change any on my 996 but I did change all the bulbs in my 2015 Chevrolet SS. Had to use the Canbus bulbs or there were many issues.

yes they are canbus and i was told they would not throw codes, however, the porsche dealer told me that on the early model 997s it will thow codes. i just didnt feel like dealing with all that so i just put my original bulbs back in
|
I hear ya. Had an issue with the trunk light on the SS so I put the original back in and no issues. It's the only original left on the car! GLWS.

You can easily add a resistor to eliminate the codes.
Most all LED suppliers also supply the plug-n-play resistors. |

Like I said, the resistor kits are idiot proof. |
Buy the Suncoast Porsche set. Roughly same price including the rear license plate and no issues in my 2007 for 1.5 years so far.
