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.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Soon to be new owner of a 996 C4 Tip (manuals are rare here) in Singapore. The previous owner did a 997 front conversion which I am intending to revert. I had a look around at my local yard and they have some old 996 lights for sale but they are pretty burnt on the inside. I tried searching the forum and google but most searches came up with ways to deal with the exterior of the headlights, I've also not had any luck in identifying the part number for that silver trim around the headlights. Is this something that can be fixed or am I better off just getting a new set? The 996s aren't as plentiful here so breaker parts aren't so easy to come by. Burnt marks look to be on the inside
