Anyone knows where to get some of these headlights for 986/996?
They look great. Some guy on eBay had them a while ago. But there hasn't been anymore since then.

I like those too. I'd like all white l.e.d's though if thats possible. I wonder how they look in person, not all cheesy ricer like.

Ok. I found a manufacturer's link
http://www.hwautolamp.com/product/98260.html
I have sent a message, but got no reply. They probably don't deal directly with users. Anyone know a good Porsche parts seller who might be able to send an enquiry?

Your best option is to get Rui725. Pretty switched on member here on 986forum and with a bit of support from more members I'm sure he could ask the manfacturer about their min. qty. Rui725 is from Taipei/TW.
I'll go for a set with you guys if less than $500 for the pair. They don't look too technical imo but could try a set.
So there is 3 members interested. Sure Rui725 is in as well?!

Looks like a brand new car, compared to my old amber headlights. I can't stop staring at my car now. :-)

Wow, neither can I!
How much and how do they look at night?

Hey jinster, I noticed that your box is a right hand drive as well... did you get the RHD headlights ? Where did you get it ?
I'm also looking for a set of rhd h/lights. However, the one I found on ebay list some defects on the RHD versions... was yours ok ?
Your new lights sure look good !

A close up before I installed them. Quality is very good, despite feeling surprisingly light. They didn't come with HID lights, only halogen, so need another trip to eBay for some cheap HID lights.

so it uses a standard halogen bulb, without any lense to direct the light?
the round bit that looks like a HID unit is just empty plastic?
how well do they work at night?

Ok, to answer your queries
1. No fitment issues at all
2. Yep, it's the RHD version off eBay for $1099 shipped. I can't see any imperfections at this stage - but admittedly I didn't look very hard (why spend effort to look for something tiny that would make you unhappy)
3. The round things are projector lenses - but the lights only come with halogen globes. I have already switched them to HID bulbs - there is a very distinct cut-off/level to the beam. But my left-hand beam is angling slightly high. I will need to adjust the headlight mounting plate.
4. I will post some pics of what they look like lit up at dusk with the parking lights. Suffice to say, it's very "Audi-like" with the DRL LED look.

Those are the same ones by the look of them, but in LHD. Mine was $1100 shipped to Australia, RHD version.
