957 bumper light LED question

[boonewe]

Car: Cayenne 957 Tip 3.6, year 2007

i am thinking to replace the bumper light (above the turn indicator) with the LED type.
will it give error in dash ?
how to remove the bumper light ?

The service manual says to remove the headlight first. Then you can access the back of the parking light assembly.

Thanks Loren.

 

i have removed the T10 bulb in the "parking light".

Engine running for a few minutes, so far no error code in dash.

 

i plan to convert the T10 bulb to function either as DRL, or welcome light during unlocking car (or both, needs a bit more work on wiring and relay).

Update:  i got error on dash "check front side light"

 

so, i fixed the parking light inside a half inch PVC socket (for domestic water piping ,without thread, grey color).

then, i put the parking light together with the PVC socket inside the bumper behind the parking light housing.

 

that eliminates the error on dash.

 

i didn't want to use the load resistor, because the load resistor can get very hot, it may cause damages also it is potentially dangerous to cause fire.

it is now turned on during unlock.
