Haven't seen them on FVD before. Only the 944 type but those won't fit on a 911.

And yes, the lens swap is easy. Make sure you mark the two adjustment screws as you take them apart so that you know how far to tighten them. And do one lens at a time, that way you can mirror the attachment points of the little brackets that hold the lens to the rim.

Just throwing this out there.

Yellow headlights are illegal in many states. Thankfully in Connecticut they are not, but I keep a copy of the regs in my glovebox in case someone gives me a hard time.

New York State is illegal and I have known people to get pulled over. I have yet to have an issue there, but I seldomly drive in New York at night in the 964.

So before you switch, look up the regs where you live.

I don't think it's an issue in Florida. I have yellow lights on my RS.

Those ~12 L things? They look pretty crazy on first glance. However, I just marked were the legs touch against the buckets with a pen. Easy peasy... All together in 1 minute (maybe 2).

Double check as some sites list them as a single unit. It happened to me and I got all excited about some prices, until I realized I needed to put 2 in the shopping cart.

Technically speaking, H4s are illegal in all 50 states for use on 964s...

It seems like in south Florida the police have a higher tolerance for car mods. There are some ridiculously modified cars here.

3m yellow thick plastic clear film can be applied. Google for search. there is a company out there that does 964 H5 headlights with holes for the 3 dimples.

There's a headlight protection film called Lamin-X, look it up there are an array of tints including yellow/amber, better than spending a small fortune on H4's and amber lenses!

Feel like it would be tough to get laminX to sit on an H4 due to the curvature on the top and the thickness of the film. More-so on H5s because they have those 'spikey' dimples.

Something like this could work on H5's though:
