This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 99' 996 and my headlights, when switched to the furthest right "on" position on my switch are useless at night; not birght at all, last week they worked, this week not. Here's some details: the high-beams work, the fog lights work, the lights turn on, they just aren't bright. If I rotate the switch once, to the first click, the "auxillary" lights come one, if I rotate it twice, to the second click and the "standard lights", there is no chance in brightness. This particualr point leads me to beleive that it is the switch. Anyone have similar issues? Loose ground perhaps? Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

If there is NO differance between the parking lights and the driving low beams. i would suspect the switch. Many people have had to replace tose for various reasons... That said, I have to quote you on 6-24-08 "Thanks for the ribbing, I'll have to get some pictures up soon! " This is way too long for us to wait on pictures Ed

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wow, way to call me out on that. I'll cut you a deal, Im off the rest of the week for Thanksgiving, I'll get pictures of the 99 and my 1966 volkswagen beetle that Im restoring up by sunday.

POST 4Original post

Don't be too excited, I'm sure it's nothing special: it probably doesn't even have painted center caps, or even a chrome "Carrera" emblem for that matter!
