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

The headlights on my 996.2 are so poor I struggle to see the road at night. Could someone recommend a good bulb replacement as the cost of changing the complete unit is astronomical. Appreciate your time in responding.

POST 2Original post

I replaced mine with Osram Night Breaker bulbs - they seem to be better than the ones that were in there before. Worth a shot...

POST 3Original post

I also found Osram Nightbreaker bulbs a very great improvement (although I was comparing them with the previous bulbs of a brand I had never heard of and they were truly pathetic). Definitely worth a try.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Replacement of the bulbs DIY or not

POST 5Original post

Very straightforward and I believe shown in owners manual. Better check what bulbs are required first as I think the dipped and high beam are different from MY2002.

POST 6Original post

Yes, very simple to replace the bulbs and the user manual shows the exact steps needed. For the dipped headlights it's the H7s I believe, but again the manual provides all the info.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the replies, I will have a go replacing these over the weekend and post a reply to the outcome. Thanks again

POST 8Original post

If you're not bothered too much about lifespan, Philips Racing Vision are the way to go. They're easy enough to replace, and are as bright as you could expect to achieve. Lifespan is lower than normal though. Its the usual trade off of brightness vs longevity
