You can also upgrade the projectors and bulbs while having the headlights dismantled. Someone else did it here on the forums on a 996 turbo. These guys did the work. https://www.facebook.com/VisionAutoLab/

Dont know if they are still in business.

Default Look awesome
[QUOTE=steam_mill;15549274]
Here is the final mock-up awaiting paint curing and off gassing before the lights being sealed.

Wow that’s exactly what I want to do to mine!
They must look brilliant fitted.
I just need the ***** to crack mine open & have a go.

The 997 Black Headlight Mod is a modification that can be made to the headlights of the Porsche 997 sports car. It involves removing the clear lens covers from the headlights and replacing them with black covers, giving the car a more aggressive and distinctive look. This modification is a popular choice among Porsche enthusiasts and is often used to give the car a more unique appearance. However, it should be noted that modifying a vehicle's lighting system can affect its compliance with local regulations and may not be legal in all areas.
