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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
I don't think you need any bolts...you just have to replace the lights...they come with ballasts....maybe you need a different connector...but I don't think you do.
Leading evidence: 'Replace lights...they come' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace lights...they come' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

xenon question
i am about to pull the trigger on a low mileage c4s. perfect except no xenons.
i can't figure out if it can done reasonably. Jeff at Sunset Porsche said that the 01 xenons will NOT go in.
a orevious thread said with 40.00 bolts it will.
can anyone clarify finally?
thanks
bob
what year is your pcar? the body style or the lights will work the following:
early 98-01 will fit and the 02-04 will fit.... it won't fit the earlier 996 version and it won't fit the 997.
yes it is ArroGant's car. 2002 c4s.
do i need the 40.00 bolts discussed in a previous thread, if so, less tha 20? (joke.)
if anyone has done the conversion, can you give me an estimate of the time involved?
the self level feature is not important to me since it's just me in the car at 160 lbs.
I'm not sure I'd go around splicing electronics in a car like the Porsche. And it's probably for this reason most people don't do it and just buy a car with Litronics.
Good luck. Having the Litronics definitely is a huge plus!
I don't think you need any bolts...you just have to replace the lights...they come with ballasts....maybe you need a different connector...but I don't think you do.
I did a 99 to 02+ conversion and have xenons...with ballasts...I needed 2 wiring harnesses...but this because of the conversion.
I would call or better got to the parts department at a Porsche shop and ask....there is almost always a fanatic (like us) there who knows everything about parts and numbers....ask them to pull up the schematics on the monitor.
i would take light error to get the xenon beam. i won't go splicing for sure.
the easier thing would be to find a xenon car, but i have confidance in gant's car, so i like to make a deal with him.
maybe gerd?? thinki will email him.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
