They are 100% plug and play! Just a pain removing the bumper is what I meant. One side gave us a little more trouble lining up the gaps for some reason but we got it sorted out. We’ll see how they last long term but overall I’m happy with them. The lights appear quite a bit brighter as well but I won’t have it out until the snow is gone so I can’t comment on how they perform at night.

It must be a lot more involved on a Cayman…. I removed lights on my 991.2 Gt3 RS.. ( not to switch lights .. but to remove a wrap ) and it was as easy as loosing some bolts… unplugging and sliding them out! (If my memory serves me correctly .. 😅🤦♂️…)
…
Nevertheless imo worth it … looks Great!! 👍
Glad you are enjoying them…. Im still on the fence re installation.. ..
Thanks for your thoughts and all….
7 days, hopefully, to me receiving my car from Florida… 🤞
👊🏼🙏🙏🍷
Will post as i go along …..

Unfortunately it’s winter here so its been in storage so I don’t really have anything new to report. From what i could tell light output was great! Longevity is the obvious question but for the price I was certainly willing to take the risk! I plan to have the lights adjusted in April when it goes in for service.
Cheers

Careful when dealing with ebay vendors. I've learned this the hard way... Maybe this vendor is ok, but lot of times, they use a refurbished ones. In my case, when I bought a pair for my F83 M4, I had problems with the lights fogging up. It turns out, the vendor who sold me the lights were basically refurbishing them (usualy replace the glass and oven-baking it on). Mayb ok in some cases, but in my case I had fogging problem. Ended up buying a used 'genuine' bmw ones. I hope that's not the case here (unless you are ok with this)

I just wanted to add to this thread since I came across this option from BayOptiks:
https://bayoptiks.com/collections/po...ent-xenon-only
EDIT:
I'm not sure if these offer the PDLS feature...

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update.- got the car out of storage for an oil change and the went to adjust the projector beams and so far the Porsche tech hasn’t been able to get them to move with the stock adjustment point - a bit concerning as one of the headlights is quite a ways off. The seller states the adjustment points are on the back on the headlight which seems odd but seeing if there’s anything that can be done today.
