Ive never had flickering or canbus warnings either. considering Ive changed dips, mains and front fogs, I think that's ok. I did change all the rear bulbs for LEDs too and still had no errors but the emitted light was too white and made the rear lights look pink, sun-faded and dated so for now, I put the original tungsten bulbs back in. I’m determined to get a set of LEDs working so might give them another go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike3105 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have a 987.1 CS with the night eyes and they flicker in cold weather. Brand new Porsche battery too (free after they had my car for 13 months in storage waiting on parts). 100% rested to temperature. Would like to know if there’s a way to rectify as I like the LED lights once working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Just fitted Nighteyes. Easy job. Mind you I hate that crack when you unlock the head lights.😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 What should I change the main beams to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I think the headlights are a very fine bit of engineering. Are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed mine during winter but binned them shortly afterwards as they were flickering From cold but steadied out after 10 mins or so, so guessing it could be temp related. I’m convinced they were just a fault pair...... Chinese mass produced electronics sometimes your gonna get a duff item that gets through QA etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushman Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 for mains, I used Nighteyes again. this time they were the 6000K fan driven H8/9/11 fitment with the bright purple anodized body. from ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to get another pair and see. If you have issues they ask you to cut the wires 🤨 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docman Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I installed LEDs in my fog & running light housings in my 2006 CS for something less dim. Unfortunately, those color temp are 6000k whereas the factory low beam HID is 4300k. I've looked at YouTube for replacing the low beam HID bulbs and it appears that they have a small circular base held in by a wire spring clip. I just received 6000k HID low beam in the mail and they have a rather chunky sheet metal aluminum base (1.5 X 1.5 X 1") although just above the aluminum base is a plastic, grooved collar. The bulbs were advertised as direct replacements for an 06 CS with bi-xenon HID (D1S labelling, OEM bulbs are labeled D2S) Before taking everything apart, can I expect these bulbs to fit? Has anyone else run into this? Apparently 981 utilize this type of low beam HID: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
