Sure you've got:

997 package
Höen H8 xenonmatch fog lamp bulb pair - matches factory HID low beam (bright white).

Höen W5W Chromium side markers* - ignites amber, blends in with side marker when not in use.

Höen W5W LED parking lights - matches factory low beams (bright white)
(https://www.2checkout.com/2co/buyer/...&product_id=72)

Höen 7507 chromium signal bulb - ignites amber, blends with white cluster when not used
(https://www.2checkout.com/2co/buyer/...&product_id=69)

Höen 6418 / C5W bulb pair - License Plate Bulbs
(https://www.2checkout.com/2co/buyer/...&product_id=95)

Höen Xenonmatch Titanium H11 - high beam bulb replacement
(https://www.2checkout.com/2co/buyer/...&product_id=37)

I also replaced the 4300K stock HID D2S bulb in my lowbeams with the D2S 6000K stage 2 HID which is much more blue but puts out slightly less light. I got these bulbs from ebay.com. I also looked at the 997 lighting package which is the same as what I got for my car. It apparently includes LED lights for the parking light in the turn signal cluster but honestly, I think that was a mistake on their part. I have this bulb on mine and I don't think they're LED bulbs.

Thanks - Where did you purchase these? The links you provided go to a checkout process without giving the actual site they were purchased from.

Atomic,

I thought the HID bulbs for the low beam was DS1? I was told this by several people.

Have you installed these already? I assume so..

I exchanged a few e-mails this morning, the gist of it:

LED W5W is now available, regular W5W still shipping if desired and they are working on the web site updates to better reflect this.
LED C5W also available (but not listed) for rear license plate for those who prefer this look.

Alpine this is what your set up looks like on my car. Did the complete bulb swap including license plate lights on DAY ONE !! Having the springs installed next week by the way.

I just fired off an email to Hoen to change my order to the LED C5W for the license plate and to order the W5W LED for the parking lights. They're easy to swap.

I can confirm that the 6000K HIDs that I put up front are D2S bulbs. I got them from ebay a while back and they've worked fine since then.

Atomic - I thought so but two people have told me D1S and also Sylvania.

From their website.

2007 PORSCHE 911 (With HID (high intensity discharge) headlamps)

Low beam headlamp
HID-D1S

High beam headlamp
H11-55W

And then some places say D2S's. I asked the dealer and they told me D1S as well.

I trust you since you have them in. Just strange that so many people pointed me to D1S's.

D1S is visually different, has the igniter attached to the bottom of it vs. the D2S so poking around behind the lamp should clear it up.

Dont touch the glass with your skin, press them in with a cloth or similar. Learned that the hard way myself. You know they replace them either way right?
