Brake cooling duct fog lights for 993?

I managed to crunch one of my fog lights on a tow bar over xmas [] A replacement one is £180ish which seems a steep price for my 2s lapse of concentration! Was thinking that the above for £100 plus a can of spray paint might be an interesting substitute....anyone got similar?

I'd be buying them for cosmetic reasons, but notwithstanding that, would they actually help cool the brakes i.e. is there ducting in place? Or would you need to add ducting as well? I'm curious as i do do track days so every little helps and it would be a nice little bonus.

The link didn't work but they normally need ducting. I'm sure you could bodge something quite easily but wouldn't think you would need it unless on an extended track day or you're particularly heavy on the brakes.

We have sold dozens, great product at a great price, indistinguishable from Genuine Porsche

Thanks for the info....might have ducting put in just for the hell of it if my mechanic can do it for not too much []

I have them on my Carrera 4 - Wouldn't change them for std fog lights.

Hi Steve,

How bright are the LEDs compared to the original bulbs? By bright, I mean total projection and lighting up of the road.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Christopher, the bulbs I have are not a replacement for the fog lights, you would need the Golf MK3 fog lights and ducts in order to have fog lights (and these need to be modified to add side lights I think). I have LED lights for side lights and they are very bright compared to a standard side light. You could almost use them as daytime lights. I guess you could replace the std units for something different and combine sidelights and fog lights. Anything is possible. Hope this helps. If I get chance over the weekend I will add a pic with lights on.

Interesting that you chose to paint them silver, I like it
