I can safely say, cleaning products, Clios, Range Rovers and trickle chargers(?) have never featured in ANY of my dreams....

Sorry, I can't see any of those in the picture

Anyway, getting back on topic....

That "battery charger" looks to be some kind of photography flash unit, I could REALLY do with a Hi Res version of the image to establish for sure though . . . .

right click on the original picture I posted, this will take you to my photobucket site where you can download the high resolution one. Unfortunately this is the best quality I have but it's OK.

Here's a couple of photos of my 996 Carrera 2 in Derbyshire yesterday. First photos I've taken since getting new alloy wheels.

Only 3 stone.

Have to climb out of the passenger door - luckily it lines up with the recess in the wall on the left. I tried reversing it in but it doesn't line up. I did do the measurements before buying but was still surprised how tight it is.

One of the neighbors has the same size garage and used to keep a corvette in there (old carpet on the walls is essential)!

They are smoke/red LED lights. There's a couple of Porsche websites in the UK selling them, but I got them direct from Taiwan on ebay.

Ta.

Do these cause any issue with the electrical system, or give any funny warning message regarding bulbs?

No, none at all. They were pretty easy to fit too. I vaguely recall reading something about warning lights if you replace the rear centre brake light with LEDs or if you replace the dipped beams with aftermarket HIDs.

The brake lights and indicators are LEDs. The reverse and fog light retains the original bulbs.

How long have they been on the car? I always see these aftermarket lights full of condensation on other cars so that puts me off although yours do look nice.
