I replaced the 37w hids on my ducts with these babies. not for all tastes and no, they don't serve any purpose but to make me feel all europey maybe even french ! these replaced 894 bulbs perfectly and other sizes are avail. cheap plug n play no errors. https://www.amazon.com/Calais-Extrem.../dp/B01CTMSVWK FYI as I expected despite the sellers desc they really don't illuminate anything. cheers john

ps they are paired with tor's hid set.

Default LED for turbo scoops

Maybe one blue, one red, so at night the guy looking in his rear view mirror thinks it's police car and moves over?

And then you subsequently get arrested for impersonating a police officer? lol

Looks awesome. The bumperettes don't do it for me for a 100% euro look which is why I got rid of mine but I love the yellow. I wonder if I'd have to use the amber LED panels as I don't see how that bulb would work with my Turbo Duct lights.



My TD kit definitely didn't have a regular car bulb like the ones you used. I wonder is your light interchangeable(and available) to fit in my kit?

hi thanks , with the dark color I figured I could get away with just keeping the bumperettes. they don't bother me.
regarding my TD setup iirc I am just using the stock fog light harness for these and may have the positioning light harness just taped up.
not sure but suspect that's the case. been awhile since I got the ducts.

Ah well! Yellow pontoon LED maybe for me and some PORSCHE graphics on the side and I will be happy.

I agree with you that the bumperettes are much less noticeable on a black car.

I'm going to start working on a 3D printed washer nozzle cover to further clean up the front of my car.

I used that film on my regular fogs and side signals. Light output was nice and yellow, but it looked a little too aftermarket looking. I then ordered the orange film to replicate the factory amber lights, which i think looks better.



Yellow Film


orange film

Hrrrmmmm.....it looks good but I think I'll go for something a bit more yellow as I have the clear sides so I'm not trying to match the fronts to the old orange ones.
