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.

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

POST 2Original post

Hi Mike , My 1998 C2 has the optional Litronic HID units which I am reasonably happy with , but it hasn't stopped me keeping an eye out for an LED conversion at some point. I came across this guy's blog site ( a 2004 C4S owner ) http://mapw.co.uk/996blog/2019/03/03/996-led-h7-headlight-bulb-upgrade/ and he looks to have done a sterling job of researching the best option and documenting the install with suitable pictures.Well worth a look.. Regards , Paul.
