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

Sure it will leave a weird hole, but I'm just wondering if a 997 headlight will mount right in.

POST 2Original post

Short answer: No. Slightly longer answer: you would need the headlight and the mounting brackets for it, but those won't just bolt in and would need fabrication. Also, the headlight cutout in the bumper would be way off not just in size but overall placement.

That is what I was loking for. Thank you

POST 4Original post

There are kits to make the conversion to a 997 bumper, fenders and head lights
