Hi
I'm picking up a 996 this week and was wondering if many of you have gone for the clear lens conversion.
If so, I'd be interested to hear how much it costs as I may be interested.
TIA
You need front, rear and side lights for the full conversion. It's pricy but you can usually get some bargains on ebay. The cost duplicates if you want xenon.
You're looking at the best part of a grand for the full set.
As Scouser said keep an eye on Fleabay, and I usggest Pistonheads - there are a couple of pairs of front lights for sale in the classifieds at the moment.
The Boxster lights fit the 996 but don't have level adjustment - they are generally £100 cheaper though!
Grand shmand.

do them for £759, and I'm sure Ive seen them for £650 or so somewhere else. And if you sell your old ones on ebay it will end up costing you no more than £4-500 net.
Cheers guys, and thanks Rodney for that link.
I'll wait a while and think about it I think. I reckon I'll go for it further down the line though.
Thanks again.
Trouble is, you can pick up the old ones for buttons on eBay.

I went to the Porsche Autojumble at Husbourne Crawley last year, and the going rate for a pair of front light units was about £30, and there were dozens available.
Sorry but I think the crystal lenses are a bit Year 2Kish and out of date. Perhaps that's why there are so many of them on ebay? They only ever looked good on same colour cars anyway.
