Headlights again

Well, I decided to plunge into buying some clear headlights to replace my amber ones, and what I discovered!
Even though every seller assured me that 986 and 996 headlamps are interchangeable, they definitely are not the same!
One headlight I purchased is the same as my old headlight except with the clear lenses, and the other is identical with a big difference, a diamond grid looking thingie on the lower part below the main headlamp (which I guess is from the 996).
I guess buyer beware, now I need one more lens, either matching the right or the left, but thats a $$ stinger.
I wonder if the internal plastic be swapped out from my old light?
