Interesting...

At that price ($572/pair), though, may as well buy the complete headlight set from Latvia.
Maybe some will pop up at a lower price point.

Which Latvia headlight set are you referring to?

I know these look like our lenses but will they even fit? The part numbers are certainly different and FVD website says they will not fit the 986, at least a 2001 model year. Not that I would even consider something at this price level...

The headlights are interchangeable between 986 and 996. Just that the 996 had the major revision in ‘01 (for Turbo, ‘02 other models) to differentiate from the 986.
