The retailer has told me that these headlights are US-type and I therefore curious to know if US-type headlights are compatible with my Euro-type 986? Do anyone have experience or knowledge regarding this?
Thanks.
the difference between the US and the Euro version is not in the fitment, but in the lens shape.so if you do not need to pass a yearly test, you should have no issue using the US version
this way or the other, if you are planning on getting new headlights, Hella makes them as well, and the best price i found is on Ebay, from Latvia.
so it might even be Euro style lens.
