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

Hey guys, first post, I bought a '99 C2 back in January of 2020, with a 997 Front End Conversion and 109k on the ODO for 12.5k. It's been a great Idaho mountain carver, regularly autocrossed, and has never skipped a beat. The car came with LED Fog Light/Turn Signals, and I've recently purchased a set of OEM 997.1 Fog Lights, and sockets to replace them, since I don't like the look of the LEDs. Unfortunately, the old wiring has been modified, and doesnt have any of the OE pigtails to plug in. So before I buy another wiring harness, I've been trying to figure out if I should buy a 997, or 996 harness. Does anybody know if the 996 Fog Lights and Running Light pigtails plug into the 997 sockets? I've seen pictures online of aftermarket 996 bumpers using 997 Fog Lights, and was wondering if anybody had experience with getting them working. Thanks in advance! Here's some pictures of my car, if you want pictures of anything I mentioned about the lights, let me know and I'll post them. Looking forward to having this figured out!

POST 2Original post

Congrats, a very nice looking setup. Sorry, I can't help ya with the lights issue but I'm sure someone with the expertise will chime in.

POST 4Original post

My local electric tech just cut and soldered the pigtails but this was to install the leds I’m sure a competent guy can do the reverse also welcome and would you sell me your old leds my are starting to die out and need a replacement thanks Mike

POST 5Original post

I can provide zero insight... But lets see some more pics. That looks like a very clean 997 front end swap

POST 6Original post

Those seats look amazing! Comfortable? What's the brand? I can't make it out completely.

They are Braum seats, way better than stock as far as bolstering goes. Pretty comfortable too! I drove the car from Boise, to Helena, to Seattle, and back to Boise in August, and never once thought I was uncomfortable.

I'd love to sell you my old ones, although, both of my old ones also have multiple dead LEDs, so mine might not be the ones you want!
