I forgot to say, if it is really a RHD British version it will not work on left hand driven cars (or you use a special tape for the reflector like the Brits do when the drive in continental Europe), because it will shine to the left side of the street instead of illuminating the right side , where the street ends . Also changing the light units means to adjust the two units to the same height and angle. Normally a job for a shop with the measurement device. Nice to watch and enjoy your car.
No. They are easy to adjust without going to a Porsche tax shop. Just pull up to a wall and adjust beams generally where you think they need to be. Then drive it on the road & then fine turn accordingly. I’ve done my own plus others. Ride heights are different for different cars. Whether that’s from shocks down Bcuz of age or from having adjustable coils on them. So “the special tool” only gets you as far as using a white wall for INITIAL general adjustment 💁♂️. Lol.
Usually only difference for left hand and right hand drive lights are if they have a projector for light output instead of a chrome bowl. With the projector they have what’s called a cut off. That essentially allows more light out one side. So the outer side of the road has more light than on coming traffic. Sorry there are definitely better ways to explain this. I’m just not good with words.
hi. I have a 2000 porsche 996 like your's, but it's a hard top. i bought these lights, like your's but it has chrome trim instead of the black trim. i'm having a heck of a time locking them, it won't click. and all of a sudden the left lights aren't working even with the originals back in.
Unfortunately, I can't help you. I am sure that ALL the aftermarket lights by design, look the same, and many are made in China, so they will look the same, but Quality is probably quite different.
I don't understand your question. Are you trying to convert to the traditional oval headlight look? If so, you would need to replace the fenders and bumper.
@@HowToHeaven ye i don't even know it's a very stupid design you can't do anything with it if i ever buy one i'll put a film on it to cover the orange part or the subheadlight
I had replaced my tail lights on my 911 996 C4S with Depot LED lights. I didnt like them partly because the red stripes didn't match anymore. So I returned those. But I'm considering getting these headlights. Is the price really worth it you think?
I love the lights, especially because of the 4 leds surrounding the projector lens, makes the car look modern! I think the price is worth it! They have the same style on Ebay, I'm sure that they are the same manufacturer based on the similarity of the pictures. Ebay also sells LED tail lights for $345, pretty pricey! (Porsche car markup). Thanks for watching!
As LED headlights go, if they worked out of the box, I would expect them to last a bit, and they did. Unfortunately, I cannot give a long term test opinion as I have since sold the 911.
@@eBlack996 I am assuming that you are asking why I sold the 911. If that is your question, it is because the clutch was always too hard for my knee. I installed a new clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and clutch assist spring to no avail...still to hard on my knee, so I decided to sell it. Loved driving that car!
