Ella's fog lights needed some reconditioning. The passenger side fog light had been cracked by a large stone, and was very yellow. The driver side looked much newer -- like it had been replaced once already (hmm...don't remember that in the car's history, oh well...).

Porsche 993 Headlight Overhaul (or Ella's New Glasses)
Ella's headlights were looking a bit tired from the rock chips to the yellow-hued bulbs to the yellowed headlight lenses. She was ready for a makeover.

Replacing Porsche 993 Third Brake Light Bulbs with LEDs
When I purchased Ella, she was sporting a gap-toothed look on the 3rd (middle, high mounted) brake light. This is really no surprise as the design uses 24 (yes, you read that right, 24) individual incandescent bulbs.
A quick search on rennlist revealed several others had the same thought I did: replace the incandescent bulbs with LEDs. Even better, several options had already been tried and validated. I just followed their lead. Read on for the details and lessons-learned in my install.
[Update 12-Feb-2016] I recently noticed that Tore at Bergvill FX is selling a kit to replace these incandescent bulbs with LEDs. While I haven't tried this specific product, my experience with Tore has been great on other products, and I would use his kit if I was to do this job again.
