Why put that inner lens if not necessary?
I have personally removed inner lenses on a couple dozen sets of 986/996 headlights and the owners have had zero issues with glare or "dazzling" and all pass inspection. What is your experience with these headlights?
With all of the cars on the road with misaligned headlights or HID bulbs haphazardly thrown into halogen reflectors, I wouldn't worry about any potential extra glare from a halogen without a diffuser (which isn't an issue, anyway).
I'll say it one last time: it's not necessary. Period. End of discussion.

I have one halogen headlight remaining on my workbench. Someday soon, I'll take comparison shots with and without the inner lens for anyone curious (maybe even video), but I won't debate it. Actual experience beats ill informed speculation every time.
