I just stumbled upon this forum in the process of looking for headlights for my silver 2000 s. It looks like a couple different people are selling some things here. There are 64 pages and instead of hunting through them, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to fill me in on who is selling what and what the headlights look like? Or tell me to stop being a lazy ass and just read the whole thread

nine8six is the developer of the kit and Pelican Parts now sells the kit (although I believe they are out of stock). It is up to you to install the kit in your existing lights. Here is the install instructions - http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/images/GTProjectors/Porsche_986_996_Headlight_Retrofit_Instructions.pd f

As far as what they look like, here are a few posts in this thread with pictures.

Wow this looks amazing!!!! I am stuck on whether to do this option or use Jeff's black headlights from xtreme. Of course both seem to be out of stock at the moment... I searched pelican parts but I couldnt even find a listing for the out of stock kit. do you have a link by chance?

Thanks for saving me the time of looking through the whole thread!

If you're considering the craptastic "LED" headlights offered by extreme, I have a toilet that you can flush $1000 down and save yourself some time and aggravation.

Damn!!! Really?!?! I have read enough of these forums to take whatever you and nine8six say to heart... but god damn I was so excited for those lights because they look amazing!!! So would you say my best bet is to do that one off pelican parts when they are back in stock? any other recomendations? I just want something that doesnt have amber in it, looks updated, and not cheap.
