These are not LED, and not for litronic but are a much cheaper and easier way to go for halogen. Folks on the Mercedes forums like them. Although 65W and not 55W, they are safe to use(according to everything I've read) and put out much more white light. Also, make sure your lenses are free from oxidation and yellowing. Many good kits for that such as 3M. Also, do a search here regarding the lenses. Many have had good success making the lenses clear again. http://store.candlepower.com/osraulhiouh7.html

No. it doesn't exist.
Do you have bixenon headlights?
Is your bulb getting dim or is your lens cloudy
if your bulb is dim and you have bixenon just replace it with a D2S bulb.
If the lens is cloudy take it to a special shop that does headlight polishing if you can't do it yourself

Personally I think these LED headlights for the early 996 looks awful. I saw one in person yesterday and I thought the car looked like a honda civic trying too hard.

and this is the cheapest place to buy. you have to choose litronic if your lights are bixenon. If not just the normal halogen ones.

I'm assuming you only tried to polish out your lights?

If your headlights are real bad, you'll need to SAND them first(300,400,600,800,1000,1200 grit) and work your way up to finer 1500 grit sand paper before MACHINE polishing with no fewer than 2 different polishing compounds(rough and fine cut), followed by some uv protectant such as a synthetic sealant. This should yield brand new looking lights if done right for a fraction of the cost of new lights.
