Headlights OEM Porsche or OEM Audi
They’re sequential & do a start up dance. Not bad for $400!
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.
I went for a 996.2 for the Turbo style headlights... but those fried eggs kinda look good on the GT3!
I like how the amber part gives the impression of the cut line for the hood flowing around to the fender.
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.
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.
Got the Matrix LED headlights and can say they are awesome. Good light all around and those automatic high beams are superb.
Picture 1 is Audis LED headlight, while the later is a standard Xenon/Halogen set up. The Xe/Ha is cheaper to maintain, but the lifespan is a fraction of the LED. The LED headlight lifespan is said to be years of constant use without issue(20,000+ hrs). The downside to LED is if something does go wrong with the headlight, you cant just replace the LED, you replace the whole unit($1,000+ USD if not under warranty)
I bought expensive Audi headlights on AliExpress. However when parcel arrived UK I had to pay additional £107 for import duty - so looks like seller Dint lower item price down. Second issue is I took car to the garage in order to replace headlights. Garage replaced them, but issued me the report. That headlights is bringing two errors to the dash board: Right hand side day time running light and left hand side day time running light. Plus second report that light pattern is for left hand drive and it's a critical issue and MOT failure. So seems to me that seller send me the wrong lights.
I particularly hate the Porsche headlights with the 4 dots of light, they create a weird afterimage for several minutes.
