I would leave the internals stock. Painting black would make it all blend together too much.

Sadly, the seals are not available anywhere. Your best bet is to find some stick-on foam rubber weather stripping that will fit (home repair shop, window sealing kits).

I ordered 3 pairs from Fred and have thus far got two of them retrofitted into headlights. I was thinking that the amber angel eyes would really make the front look good on the black 996 since it had some amber on the blinkers and I would say that assumption was correct! The blue did not look as good on my black 996 (IMO), but they do look pretty nice on my buddy's silver 996!

Trying to reassemble but having trouble with the wiring. I can't figure where they all go and they don't match the colors on the instruction sheet. Anyone have any good pictures?

HID Ballasts goes inside the driver/passenger seats - if you don't have heated seats

Here goes a basic wiring diagram for you to start with. Had a friend who installed a separate on/off switch just above the fuse box for the Angel Eyes (showcar events use only, chemical green AE, highly illegal loll).
