Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am registering my 2002 996 in France. The car is fitted with xenon headlights but I need to change to LHD units The cost to buy LHD xenon units is between £2400 and £3000 The cost of halogen units is about half! Now the question. Will the existing plug fit the halogen units? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Do they not have the switch on the back to switch them to LHD like the 997 do?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes they do BUT that does not turn them into LHD lights. I believe that it just lowers the beam but does not change the direction of the dip. The car may pass the control but it is not guaranteed to! I want to have my backup in place .....

POST 4Original post

I'm no expert, but I think the Litronics are wired differently to the halogen lights. Don't think they're plug and play so you may have some work to do to get them operating properly. Obviously fitting replacement Litronics should be fine.. Happy to be corrected.
