No offense to the people who invested time & capital in this product, but if you hate your 996 headlights so much, get a 997.

I dont think its a hate really, its more of an update, just like the led 993 headlights.

These don't seem like that much of an "upgrade" considering they cost more than a set of good condition OEM housings. What are the specs on the optics? Also, they leave a lot to be desired aesthetically and look like something I would find on Ebay.

I would be in but if it actually came with upgraded lights, this essentially a headlight housing with a halo led, and sorry but the price is absurd

Yea those are really really bad. I can't wait to buy up and hoard the take-off headlights when the people buy these.
I bet they cost $200/pair to buy from the chinese factory.

I personally do not like these, nor am I in love with the OEM ones.....I just don't mind them. I didn't like the shifter in my 996, so I changed it. I did NOT buy a 997. I say if you like these lights, go for it!

At this time, 1 year, I am working with the vendor to extend that to 2 years like our eRam Kit™. Also checking on replacement of LEDs should one die.
Thanks to those that have shown interest! May not be for everyone, but seems to have been a steady desire from many owners, say since around 2001...
