D=highbeam, this only comes on if my headlights are off, and I just flash the high beams.

Now, if your lights behave the way I've noted above, it's normal

headlights

by the way dave, is that headlight you used in picture on your car, if it is i love the paint job, i don't know if i want the trim or to paint them, i hav one headlight thats not quite as shiny as the other, but i jus got it back & its pretty close now, but i hav never really liked the fried egg look. by the way i jus had the tail lights done, they're pretty dark, but the lights do come thru. a lil too dark for the headlights though.

If anyone ever needs a headlight for parts, I have one - bi-xenon drivers side. I replaced it in my old 03. I can't remember exactly what was wrong with it except the left turn signal wouldn't work with it. All the diagnostics would say was it failed. The bulb works and the leveling is fine. I'd sell it super cheap, it's doing me no good and really has no market value.

i guess it would fit a 02 996, how do you know which type of lights you have, does a certain one come standard on certain models. how many different types are there other than bi-xenon, & which is considered the best?

it's just a picture of the one i saw not long ago, it is a nice paint job. I have an 02 c4s, so it is that light, just minus the paint.

Now, if your lights behave the way i've noted above, it's normal
a = city light or day time light

b = high beam (this goes on with your bi-xenon high beam)

c = low beam / bi-xenon

d = fog light (turns off automatically when high beam is on)
