Headlights Depo or OEM Porsche
Depo lights from rockauto. Good quality and look like oe
I would rewire it myself if everything is accessible, otherwise maybe get new headlights, got myself some new one from DEPO.
the depot headlights have been great for me and wayyyyy less than replacement stock ones cost.
My 996.1 is my first Porsche, and it’s consistently able to make me happy. Even the dumb lights are aging surprisingly well.
I’ve finally pulled the trigger on getting the original US Sealed Beam headlights swapped out for some new Euro/WW Composite glass-lens units. The install was super smooth and straightforward. I found a pair of new DEPO headlights on eBay. The new DEPOs came with a janky headlight wiring adapter but, I opted for a OEM-quality install with 2 new 6-pin headlight connectors. The headlights have full functionality including the W3W City Lights which I soldered in.
Cpo is nice from an extended warranty standpoint but the condition of the car is ultimately up to the buyer to determine. There was a gt4 rs that a local SoCal dealer cpo’d with Chinese headlights, non oem hood, and a repaired mag rim.
Just search for e-code headlights. I have Depo and they're fine, but not as nice as OEM Valeo.
DEPOs are absolute trash. I've had them literally crumble while sitting on my kitchen table... Like tabs started flying around...
I admit they do "look" good because they are brand new, but they are the biggest pile of excrement this side of the equator! My headlights for that wagon, while the beams are near perfectly aimed (yes i did that) i about have a brain aneurysm Everytime I see them in the front of the wagon, specially if I get locked or fixated.
that Depo crap isn't worth the work
