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

Does anyone know if anyone makes an upgraded headlight for the 996 that would look something like this? I know that it would not be the round light like the other gens of 911, but I'm interested in the 4 LEDs and the ring of light around the main light beam. Thanks

POST 2Original post

I have not seen any with that design. I bought a set of LEDs recently.

Nice lights. Where did you find those?

You really have to see them in person to appreciate just how cheap looking and low quality they are. Also, the LEDs burn out prematurely and the bulb reflectors are plastic. Yes. Plastic. "Splitting Atoms" will be kicking himself in about 6 months.

get what you pay for, these run like 1K on ebay for a pair, while a OEM non-LED runs 4K a pair I bought my 99 C2 with these already in, they look sharp, but yes, cheap, they are made in Taiwan. Mine has a bank of two LEDs that are already flickering and going out. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carrera-911...MAAOSw38VbtCx-

Not sure if anyone is doing it as a aftermarket complete, but Oracle was testing it out. Here is a DIY "halo" kit. http://www.halolightkits.com/porsche...-Headlight-Kit

Interesting... no pics and no instructions, so I wonder how they work?
