Default A question about 997.2 headlights?

I have a question about the 997.2 headlights - is it possible to replace the dynamic cornering headlights with standard normal ones? If yes, is it a big pain? Error codes and stuff? Has anyone done it?

I for some reason strongly dislike the the way the dynamic cornering headlights look - think it spoils the front end looks a little. I know, kind of silly in the larger scheme of things, and I wouldn't mind a GT3 with any headlights, but knowing they are replaceable would make my search a little smoother.

TIA

ps. I know there is a 3rd headlight for GT3 - the light weight ones, I am not talking about those (I can't tell the difference between that and the standard ones). And I those are for some reason it was not compatible with front lift (the online configurator didn't allow you to choose both - not sure why).

I'm sure you can, maybe will need coding on the modules done by PWIS or durametric, but don't see why not.

I don't even have a GT3 yet, but sure if and when I do.

Why consider to swap out dynamic cornering head lights?
I love them ...give me much improved lighting on windy roads and at the same time a fantastic dynamic sensation. Hard to describe - like the difference going from regular to carving skis
