I completed my light project yesterday.

1) Replace the factory orange/red tail lights with clear/reds. Took 15 minutes to complete. Most difficult part was replacing the inside carpet-cover nuts.

2) Replaced factory headlights with a Litronic kit (including module). Pretty simply. Several decisions were needed including to drill or not to drill a hole for the wire harness. I chose to punch out an opening through the rubber-gromet for the headight-cable. Also, I did not use the Porsche supplied "pins" to wire up as I do not have a pin puller. I spliced into the appropriate wires. The most challanging part was deciding where to mount the control module. I could not put it at the Porsche recommended site since I have a metal thing (hard to describe, but a small metal mounting gizmo (for what purpose I have no idea) was in the way. Total time around 2.5 hours including cleanup (i.e., washing the car to get rid of the finger prints!). final results -- WOW quite an improvement in night driving.

3). The most difficult project of all -- installing color-matched bumper plugs.
