sevenfourate Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 @jaketame : I’d be really interested in how these bulbs work out for you. Do keep us all posted please ! I think renewing the ‘yellow’ interior especially / stock headlight bulbs on a 987 to something brighter (Whiter) and fresher looking would be a great upgrade: and pull it forward and modernise it quite a few years....

Just waiting on the bulbs still but will have them tomorrow so will be swapping fronts out. Looking for an LED amber bulb for indicators on front and side if anyone knows what type they are? also interested in replacing rear bulbs to leds too, was following the Mrs yesterday and indicator is not as bright as today’s standards go.

jaketame Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Just adding side indicator bulb pictures.... Looking into front indicator it would appear to be the same bulb type so will go and test as I have two spare from the sides. I can visually see the increased brightness during daytime too!

jaketame Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Ok so the two bulbs I ordered one was 70mm and the other was 72mm but a different shape. neither fit, I suspect max depth can be around 65mm but will have another look for something that short. Nighteye is now branded NovSight. Front Indiciator Bulb’s also gave errors permanently on the dash so they came out but so much brighter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you list what bulbs you have used that have worked (and you still have in) and which you have tried and have not worked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaketame Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Front H9 Main Beam I really don't think there are any LED bulbs that are going to fit in here. I've tried unbranded Chinese from Amazon/Ebay and too many to list but all are too long. I've tried Novsight/Nighteye and these are also too long, a Novsight one is 70mm and thats the shortest LED Headlight I can find. The filament is the same as foglight so I'm wondering if fitting this in it would be ok? Bulbs are listed different Ie Headlight or Foglight but Foglight bulbs seem to be smaller. Other than that I think the only option is a higher spec halogen that is closer to 6K. There are a couple from Osram/Philips that do 5K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering if I buy 2 sets of the second link you provided for both the front and side.

Joe Spicer Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Has anyone tried these for the full-beam? I think they're about 7mm shorter than the other Novsight ones... might squeeze in. It uses a heatsink instead of a fan though https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOVSIGHT-Headlight-Conversion-Automotive-Headlamp-6500K/dp/B07HHPDTFS/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=h9+led+bulb&qid=1580678998&sr=8-9 edit: or these, even shorter? 110w though, are the full-beam supposed to be 72w? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2Pcs-110W-20000LM-6000K-Mini-H8-H9-H11-Car-LED-Replace-Headlight-Bulb-Kit-White/202751519718?hash=item2f34eeabe6:g:epAAAOSwS9BdSot3 edit (again!): or these... 55m long, 20mm less than the original nighteye ones I tried https://www.amazon.co.uk/SEALIGHT-Headlight-Bulbs-Package-6000LM/dp/B07K438ZQD Edited February 2, 2020 by Joe Spicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
