According to EVOMS it wont stick and also hold boost better when running higher boost than stock. They say this was a common prob on the 996 but 997 seem to be holding up ok but Im doing it for piece of mind. Everyone who has installed them loves the change it makes and it feels stronger at the higher rpms, that and the sound.

Ah yes, now I remember that. I was going to get one a while back when I first heard about it but in the end, decided against it. I already have the IPD plenum and the cargraphic exhaust. I'm satisfied with the performance. Time for a new car..

Got all my bulbs done except the fogs. Side markers show the biggest difference from stock. Thanks for the tip, gmoney!

Gmoney, is the light output on the side markers yellow or white with the dLED? Looks yellow in the picture but the LED lookd clear/white.

One of my license plate LED lights is burned out and one of the LED driving lights flickers. I only had them in the car for 3 months.

Thanks for the heads-up on who to contact. I love how they look, but it was so disappointing when they stopped working.

I just tried to order from Hoen but they are saying that dLED has been discontinued and that they are working on a different version.
