This is a short DIY about installing white LED daytime running lights on your 996. But first, thanks to Loren and all the other members who have posted DIY articles. Lately I have used them to do the PSE cutout mod, removed those ugly airbag stickers from my visors and changed the plugs at 30K. Got those lousy Bosch plugs out, installed NGKs and it runs like a different car. Smoother and more power. I found some white LED bars on Ebay that looked like they would fit just right in the air intakes. Search for item 390103978391 on Ebay, they go for about $50. In order to install the wiring you will have to remove the front bumper cover. I followed Loren's DIY on installing the third radiator. Also, you will have to remove the liner in the trunk area to get the wires through the bulkhead in back of the bumper. Here is a picture of the lights installed. I used double sided tape to mount them to the separator bar. Here the bumper cover is removed and I am running the wires up to the bulkhead. There is a round rubber plug just below and to the side of the latch that you can feed the wires through to the inside of the trunk compartment. Testing the lights before buttoning everything up. Everything back together. The only thing I have not completed is to find a source of switched 12 volts in the trunk area. If anyone out there knows of an easy way to pick it up I would appreciate hearing from you. Otherwise I will run the wire under the dash and pick up switched 12 there.
