Are 996 and 986 headlights the same?

It was in 02 that they changed. You're safe with 01.

Unless...

Did you know there is a textural difference between the Turbo headlights and Carrera headlights? Do you know which ones you got?

Also, are you having your washer function utilized?

I look forward to seeing the end result! BTW, make sure the headlights are aimed properly... once they're installed, you have to remove them to align them, which can be annoying.
