    Replacement Light Bulb

    Looking for replacement light bulbs to match the Xenons. Someone posted info before, but I can't seem to find it.

    Will these work for fog lamps? The fitment guide doesn't show which bulbs work for the 997.

    I would like to change the Egg Yolk indicator bulbs. Does anyone in the UK have a contact or a place to buy the Chromium bulbs which have at least 98% of the OEM bulbs in terms of luminance.

    What are the "egg yolk" indicator bulbs - the side markers?

    These look great - does anyone know if they are UK-legal?

    Thanks

    Check thier website for pics - they offer different wattages. I used the bulbs that had OEM wattage since they recommend a heavy duty wiring harness for higher wattage and I didn't want to do any wiring. www.hoen-usa has a lot of info. Good luck.
