The 2008's and 2010's share the same standard Litronic headlights, with the exception of the dynamic cornering lights and the lightweight halogen lights from the GT3's. It looks like trying to retrofit the dynamic lights may take a Porsche engineer, I would avoid that upgrade.

If your serious, which I'm assuming you are, contact Beau from Wicked Motor Works. I've had a few crazy questions like this myself with the GT2 style bumpers for a 997 Turbo. He has done sooooo many different things to 911s, headlights, wide bodys, 996 to 997, custom body kits... He can also upgrade your rear tail lights to the 2010 style.

Happy moding!

And let us know what you decide

Standard light which you already have:



Dynamic Cornering Light (this one has a double-projector look):

My guess is you'll need the front light control unit and PIWIS or Durametric to activate it. Probably not worth the $$.

FWIW, I really like the new lights. Get's rid of a lot of the chrome, add's a lot more detail and has that CGTish dual headlamp look.

Wouldn't it cost something similar to what the rear LED light conversation cost? I no the front lights always cost more, but maybe something close...I am quite interested in doing this, so if anyone attempts it, keep us posted!
