Meh... the location of the LED strips looks awkward to me, and the black body to the lights leaves the projectors sort of floating in a sea of black. Not my favorite look. I think the original ones looked fine.

I think it's a nice look, more updated, modern. I like the way it looks at least on the black vehicle in the photos versus the stock 955 light assemblies.
My only (big) concern would be the quality. I'm a big fan of staying with OEM on these vehicles, but of course Porsche Tequipment offers nothing like this for the 955 series.
They might be worth a try if the price is decent. Again, I do like the look. IMO it provides for a nice updated look to the 955 facia, almost OEM looking (at least in those photos).

I would like to see pictures of the light pattern they emit compared to stock. If they have a better beam with the same bulbs then it would be worth the upgrade to me, otherwise - no thank you. Headlights are an important safety item when you live somewhere that gets dark in the late afternoon all winter.

Do a Google on "VIPMotoZ" - they apparently bring in lights from China for about everything.. and the quality must vary since some were roundly panned in reviews. Others seemed OK. I believe I saw someone projecting one of these vs one of the stock lights on a garage door. This light had a more concentrated, narrower beam than the very flat-top one the stock lights have. Highbeam looked about the same.

I got a set of these a while back. If I remember correctly they we around $350. Someone had returned them for scratches. You have to use the internals of your existing headlights. They took some adjusting to get level and changing the cornering lights is nearly impossible, but I would buy them again at the same price. I posted a picture a on here if you search for my name.
I would say the fit and finish is close to the oringal lights. I didn’t have any issues with moisture building up.
Sorry to say, this is the only recent picture I have.
