Default 996 headlight swap

Hi guys,

i tried yesterday to install a pair of xenon headlight on a c4s 2002 that has halogen headlights. The xenon light does work but nothing else(no high beam, no *smog light*)

i checked after the connectors and we can see that's its not the same.

is there something i can do to make them work?

thanks for the help

seb

There's more to the system than just new headlamps. There are level sensors on the axles. You may have to have the computer reprogrammed too... I'm not really sure.

Did you ever figure out how to get the xenons working?
