Default Rennline's clear headlight replacements.

Has anyone installed a set of these yet. Wondering if you documented the actual glass removal process.

I have never seen smooth headlight pod lenses for a 993 unless one is speaking of an entire pod swap out.
The headlight glass on a 993 pod is part of the optical system that modifies the horizontal lamp beam line cut off so it is a little lower on the side of opposing traffic to avoid blinding them.
See the pattern in the diagram on this page:
https://993servicerepair.blogspot.co...iverd-993.html

For this reason, it may not be a good idea to swap out the lenses with ones that are smooth for safety reasons even if they are available.
If they are swapped out one will need to aim their headlights even lower to not blind opposing traffic and so the headlights will appear less effective on low beam.

I do see what you mean. Its actually for a friend of mine who bought his 993 here recently. I'm just seeing its for 911/912/930. I'll touch base with him tonight when he gets off.

Well you guys were correct. He's disappointed. Ive tried talking him into the new LED replacement units but apparently these do not work if you have Litronic setup.
