Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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

Quick question for the brain trust: Will MY 2000 986 bi xenon headlights plug and play into a MY 99 996?

POST 2Original post

Gator, I'm sure others will reply also, but I'm pretty sure it's plug & play. The only thing you'll miss out on is the self-levelling feature the factory-installed lights have. Been sorta looking for a set myself!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ahh, didn't think of the self leveling thing. I wonder if I would have to adjust everything to project correctly.

POST 4Original post

Adjustments are easy as the holes are right next to the hole that you need to remove the headlights. The only thing not having leveling is you might blind some on coming drivers going over bumps and small hills and such. But who cares about them.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good points Alps. My stock ones are fine but there is a small amount of burnt interior lens. They work fine but I am so damn OCD. Saw some xenons on evilbay. I assume a Pcar dealer has the leveling machine? All those ricer kids blind me with their blue aftermarket lights. I should give them a taste of their own medicine.

POST 6Original post

There are a few online headlight aiming articles that should get you most of the way there. I wouldn't personally take it to the dealer just for that. Even better, If there is another porsche owner with Xenons, have them shine it on the garage wall at least 15-20ft away(I forget the exact distance off the top of my head), mark the hotspots with some masking tape. Park your car in the exact same spot and adjust to the masking tape reference. That would be the easiest and probably get you 80-90% assuming both your cars have similar ride heights.

This is an easy DIY. Daniel Stern has some detailed instructions - http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html

POST 8Original post

Damn Gator, when I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be about something else. Unsubscribe!

POST 10Original post

Does anyone know where I can order the wiring harness for a 2003 C4S halogen to Xenon headlight swap?
