You realize you'll be replacing your fenders, hood, and bumper to accomodate those lights.

Welcome aboard! That is one beautiful 996. Personally I would leave it alone, but to each his own. ENJOY!

Am I the only person that thinks the MKII headlights are some of the best Porsche ever made ? No other lights have looked as aggressive before or since, just my opinion of course, but I wouldn't change them, ever. I personally love them.

Your car is a beaut, clean her up, buy a headlight restore kit and put a fresh coat of wax on the paint and she'll be perfect.

Or if you're in the NY/NJ area, I can recommend an incredible detail shop ( theapexdetail.com ). I brought my car there for their paint correction process and they basically made it look like it came off the showroom floor. Well worth the cost. I'm sure they could clean up your headlights too.

Nice C4S! Is it dirty in the pic or is it just the way it came out? I am a firm believer in doing what you love but, if you ask my opinion I say don't do the L.E.D's, it won't look right in the car at all.
