Bought SD second hand. It's came with normal head lamp fitted. I just thinking to get the xenon with 4 led dot of ebay. Is it direct swap?
Cheers in advance.

You will also need the LMC module as a minimum
Is your car fitted with headlight washers?

It is certainly possible but it is likely to be expensive and not worth the hassle.

I don’t think Porsche offer this. You are probably stuck with the standard ones

This is very common, everyone presumed Xenon were standard!
Get some LED bulbs from this guy, great service and brilliant (lol) bulbs.

You will find more and more MOT stations are failing aftermarket LED and HID lamps.

I had to remove the LED lamps from my kids car at his last MOT - High output halogens are your best option

On what grounds could they fail LEDs? As long as the beam pattern and cut-off is ok, why would they even know they had been changed?

So much LED technology out there now, I don't know that they would know what was original.

Mine passed it's MOT yesterday.

As I said more and more MOT stations will fail both aftermarket LED & HID, I have no doubt that if i tried 10 stations 50% of them would have passed 50% would have failed.

As far as I am aware no manufacturer used a LED bulb, every one of them uses as sealed unit which is type approved, so its very easy to tell.
