A simple DIY. I used Sylvania SilverStar® - Headlight Part # H7STBP. They work just fine. For the most part use a H7 bulb. Good luck.

Quick question guys.. Does the 996 have separate lamps for high beam and low beam? When I removed the back-cover, I saw 2 H7 lamps in there. Is it supposed to be 1 for high-beam and 1 for low-beam? I have read at several places that the H7 is a single beam lamp.

Thanks
