986.2 headlights in 986.1

[particlewave]

All 986 headlights are interchangeable with each other and the 996 Mk1 headlights.
I've had every variant in my car at one time or another...

BTW, best price for new is around $790 shipped.

Since you are the guru and this is an appropriate place to ask, what are the different options.

Amber, no Amber, and litronic? Or is there more then that?

I'm gonna do my own research, but just in case I don't find it, where have you seen $790?

Thanks.

I saw your previous comments that all these headlights are interchangeable; however, on the listing you mentioned, it identifies '98 Boxsters (what I drive) as incompatible with these headlights. What do you think?

I'd appreciate your opinion on these headlights (below), if you recognize them (I saw a youtube video that didn't have much good to say about headlamps from Taiwan):

Yeah, they are all the same. They list them that way because the clear turn signal style didn't come out until later, but they still fit all 986 models.

The "led strip" headlights that you linked are complete garbage. From LEDs that burn out quickly to plastic projectors that can melt if the bulb is too hot to the "cooling holes" in the cases that also allow dirt and moisture in...I could go on, but I'll spare you. Let's just say that I wouldn't recommend those to my worst enemy.

Thanks. You probably saved me money and aggravation.

PW - are these headlights pretty bright? I have the originals in my '02 and they are 'dimsih', and get very dim once the engine is turned off.

Hi...I have a white '98 boxster. I already changed the rear lights and now looking at changing my headlights because they are already very yellow. Do you have a photo of your car with the new lights you bought from eBay? They are a good price and I want to see how it looks like if you don't mind.

Thanks in advance!
