Headlights OEM Porsche or HELIX
Reviews
I enjoy the wedge-look of my 944 when the headlights are down. I don't mind the look when they're up, but they just look better down.
The novelty was cool right after purchasing the car, but now I'm more worried about something breaking with them and having to pay a big repair bill for something pretty simple.
Pros: enjoys wedge-look
Cons: worried about breaking

I went for a 996.2 for the Turbo style headlights... but those fried eggs kinda look good on the GT3!
Pros: look good on GT3
Vehicle:
Porsche
I like how the amber part gives the impression of the cut line for the hood flowing around to the fender.
Pros: flowing cut line
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
I bought [these headlights](https://www.ecstuning.com/b-helix-parts/mk75-style-headlight-set-black-trim/hvwg7hl-75b2~hlx/) with [this LED kit](https://www.ecstuning.com/b-morimoto-parts/d2h-d2s-2-stroke-led-bulb-kit/led1509kt/). So far so great. They look amazing, the LED upgrade is literally night and day. Fitment is good, no issues, and they shipped pretty fast.
Pros: look amazing, good fitment

Volkswagen Golf
Now, I do like the pop up headlights. I've always liked the undeniable 80's look about them and still get a warm fuzzy feeling inside every time I turn my headlights on and see them rise up.
Pros: undeniable 80's look

Porsche has some pretty impressive headlights. The Cayenne I bought used had the technology package or something that included the HID headlights, so I don't know if that statement stands for their regular headlights. But, having had a couple of vars with HIDs now, the Porsche is mind boggling. Not only does it illuminate for a long distance, but the angle of illumination is astounding. With the brights on, I can see 50 feet off of the road on either side clearly illuminated to watch for wild life.
Pros: illuminates long distance, astounding angle

Just finished the install and I have noticed 2 things on this Helix unit. 1. When the low-beams are in use they seem to run at a lower power. 2. When turning on the high-beams it also makes the low-beams run at their apparent normal full power.
Cons: lower power low-beams
I have the helix MK7 reps with a generic HID bi-xenon set up. Works just fine. Like other said just make sure its a can bus system.
Pros: works just fine
I particularly hate the Porsche headlights with the 4 dots of light, they create a weird afterimage for several minutes.
Cons: weird afterimage

I prefer the 987 front end to my 986 fried egg headlights.
Pros: prefer 987 front end
Cons: dislike 986 headlights
