I unfortunately have the head/tail lights that have orange in them. Until I replace the lights, I would like to know if anyone could recommend new bulbs. I'm looking for the bright whites. I think they will look good with my car being black. Thanks.

 

check out the ones at www.maxspeed-motorsports.com - they are a 6000k buish-white, was thinking of getting them myself.

[edit] fixed link

 

link is dead my friend......Found the site. The question I have is can I just swap them out with my stock bulbs from my "99" 996??

 

whoops - here's the corrected link to product
http://www.maxspeed-motorsports.com/d2c.html

should be a quick swap-out, contact Maxspeed for info. The owner is very easy to deal with.

 

I have a early 1999 so I believe I have halogens?? I know there not litronics. I believe those bulbs are not inter changeable ?

 

Yep- if you have halogens you'll either have to buy a litronics kit or go with Sylvania SilverStar halogen bulbs for a whiter light.
The SilverStars are pretty nice- used to run those on my '95 BMW 325iS and the high beams on my '04 330i.

you can order directly from Sylvania website.

 

Thanks man. That's the info I was looking for.

 

I just did this myself replacing orange for clear and updating the bulbs for non litronic
you will need part number H7SU Silverstar Ultra - high and low beams - quantity 4 or 2 2pks
Ignore the Phillips site that tells you for the foglamps part number H3ST - the stock foglamps use H7SU and they are installed by porsche already - I found this out the hard way
FYI the stock bulbs are H7 - but not the Ultra whitest.brightest

and yes they work much better than stock

 

I put this h7 silverstars in my car, and you do not get the effect you want. They basically look like stock lights when on, not the clean white/blueish color you may be looking for. Anything else though may run too hot, and burn your plastic lenses.

 

Thanks again gentlemen for the wise advice. I will let you know how it's turns out.

 

Are you saying that you can remove the orange from inside the headlight and make it clear???

 

No affiliation, but here is some information.

Thanks. I saw that a few weeks ago. It looks that could be a big mistake for me if I attempted that.
