Super easy to retrofit indeed. You can get $50 retrofit kits off eBay and diy. Good’ol untested Fire Hazard composites and materials with body, shrouds/bezels prone to cracks and early uv discoloration or worst; flaking! “The ultimate plastic kits” for Porsche car (Chinese/Japan style!!!).

Another option; there is a guy on this forum who works those especially for Porsche owners; full aluminum body/anodized however (class appearance only!). Looks sharp from up close if you know what I mean and should look that way minimum 10~15 years. No-no cheap plastics kits! He also engineered the riser/adapter for those particular 9x6 headlights so that the projectors sits where they should – prevents the kit from being hidden & tucked inside the headlight unit where the halogen used to be thus preventing overheating.

Cheap-Cheap: $6,999 (for the left side only, of course)
