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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've got a 99 Carrera 2 with an aerokit and I'm wondering if it's reasonable to consider putting the mk2 headlights on it. I like the look of my front bumper and would prefer for it to stay similar if possible.

POST 2Original post

Yes, it is possible. At minimum, I think you would need the Mk2 lights and the front bumper cover.

POST 3Original post

And you need new front fenders. And multiple wiring stuff. This is what's required: http://986forum.com/forums/performan...on-thread.html

POST 5Original post

I see no reason to update the headlights. Embrace the 996.1 headlights. (This coming from a 996.2 owner)

POST 6Original post

I mean, I think it's reasonable to have the option to switch back and forth if you can't own both a .1 and .2 at the same time...

Yeah, I was just saying the 996.1 is definitely not inferior to the 996.2, just different. I wouldn�t mind picking up a 996.1 if I find a great deal.

You would need to purchase the Mk2 Aero front bumper, so it sounds like this is a no-go for you.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
