It's not a huge deal though. I'd be fine without the control box to aim the xenons upward for high-beam viewing. It's just very cool 
The guy I bought mine from said he was buying a dozen pairs at a time for sale on eBay and was told by his supplier that the well was about to run dry. Porsche was going to stop making them and they would skyrocket in price.
I can't imagine Porsche would stop making them though if there's any sort of demand for them. People wreck their 996/986's from time to time and need new headlamps as well as all the guys like us who want an amber free lighting upgrade. |
Porsche never really made these headlights in the first place, they designed them and sell them through their dealership. The actual manufacturer will surely continue to make them or sell the tooling to some manufacturer who will. I highly doubt the production of headlights for 986/996s is anywhere near over. Heck, you can still get new lenses for the 356!
