Porsche 996 Headlight Upgrade

Does anyone know if anyone makes an upgraded headlight for the 996 that would look something like this? I know that it would not be the round light like the other gens of 911, but I'm interested in the 4 LEDs and the ring of light around the main light beam.
Thanks

I have not seen any with that design. I bought a set of LEDs recently.

Nice lights. Where did you find those?

You really have to see them in person to appreciate just how cheap looking and low quality they are.

Also, the LEDs burn out prematurely and the bulb reflectors are plastic. Yes. Plastic.

get what you pay for, these run like 1K on ebay for a pair, while a OEM non-LED runs 4K a pair

I bought my 99 C2 with these already in, they look sharp, but yes, cheap, they are made in Taiwan. Mine has a bank of two LEDs that are already flickering and going out.

Not sure if anyone is doing it as a aftermarket complete, but Oracle was testing it out. Here is a DIY "halo" kit.

Interesting... no pics and no instructions, so I wonder how they work?
