New LED Lights- What do you think?

[particlewave]

I have yet to see any headlight option that I like. Yes, the stock lights grow on you, but they are still ugly as heck. That's always what people see, always the first thing they mention, especially kids. I just took the box to my cousins yesterday and his 6 year olds first comment was that the "lights are ugly".

Even the stock lights don't "follow the lines of the car". Look at the turn signal/front bumper line.

I'm thinking new fenders, frunk lid, and bumper, upgraded to the modern look.

I like the egg look of the 986 and 996 headlights
They were original and had character.
The new 981 headlights, though modern looking, have a g35 or nissan altima look to them that is defined by those cars.
The 987 I headlights are just uninspired teardrops that looks like they came off a mini or vw beetle.

I do like the 987II headlights the most though!

What makes these aftermarket headlights kinda rice is not the LED (cause everything have LED these days) but the amount of chrome on them. I saw a blacked out version somewhere online.

I think the new units look far superior to what you had in there. All I would do is avoid the multi LED rear units, I think together that might be too much but the headlamps look litronic - esce and apparently cost much less. Only Porsche guys will know them from litronics.

Au contraire. The stock lights do very clever things with the bumper line. What they do is carry the bumper across the light unit along the divide between the clear and amber part of the light.

Personally, I think the original 986 lights are a very, very nice bit of design and help make the early 986 easily the prettiest Box of all.

But hey, we all like different stuff.
