More Headlight issues

I had a post a while back about my headlights and having trouble with the turning lights. Turned out some of the insulation on the wires was dry and cracked. I fixed them by replacing some of the wires.

But the problem seems to be back, I've been getting warnings about the turning lights not working again. I'll take a look at the bulbs but I suspect the wiring in the headlight assembly itself is getting worse.

I found these on Fleabay and they might look pretty decent slapped on my blacked out 955. Anyone taken a chance on these? They say you have to switch the motor, ballast and bulbs which shouldn't be a big deal.

Only thing about those ebay ones is I'm not sure they still have the cornering lights. Hard to tell.

Not sure why the link is not working properly, should be going to the item on ebay

The cornering light is the shiny section next to the top projector. It apparently has a bulb facing the faceted reflector. That's more like what's used on the 958 lights.

Yeah, they replied the same thing. It does look more like a 958 headlight. The cornering light on mine is another lens similar to the HID lens but obviously aimed to light the corner. It's kind of a neat feature but I only find it really useable when trying to park.


I'm going to try pulling one of the headlights in the next few days to see if it's really the wiring or what is going on.
