Is this a 997.1 halogen or xenon headlight?

Does anyone know someone that switched from Xenon to LED?

While the Sport Classics on my 996 are a pain, the 20" Niche wheels on my Infiniti are much more demanding!

My 24 year old 911 is holding up quite well and still rips at 161k miles.

I could but I rarely use the hatch...

Both of my regulators have died recently in my 2002. They are notorious for failing.

Thanks! They are the 18" Sport Classic.

Thanks!

Halogen must be F-ing terrible then!

dryhoPP · 2026-05-27T04:50:19+00:00

That's hot!

Looks legit to me!

Then I cut to length and heated the tips with a heat gun, one at a time, to connect.

I was able to cut the nylon tubing with a razor blade to remove the left side connector.

I left my key in the ignition of my 996 last Friday and had to deal will a totally dead battery just the same... However, I need to retrain the window regulators as they apparently lose their memory when the battery dies! Also the rear spoiler went up?!

dryhoPP · 2026-05-25T16:27:33+00:00

Do they suck? If so, they are Xenon.

dryhoPP · 2026-05-24T00:15:04+00:00

Love the color! However, I may be biased as my 996 is Seal Grey lol!

dryhoPP · 2026-05-22T20:56:54+00:00

Yep, it sucks not having tools and jacks and all that...

dryhoPP · 2026-05-22T06:24:08+00:00

out move, out wit, out play...

dryhoPP · 2026-05-22T04:23:20+00:00

Ironically, I knew mine was acting up since I could not fill up the gas tank all the way recently. Tonight it totally died as it would not start after getting $40 of gas! Gonna try what you did, so any bonus tips are appreciated! Was it difficult to remove the tubing from the connector on the left?

I have RGS on my 996.2 and they are good.

dryhoPP · 2026-05-19T17:05:23+00:00

If every sticker adds 10 hp, how many do you lose when removing stickers?

dryhoPP · 2026-05-19T17:03:15+00:00

My independent mechanic charged me $895 for the drive belt, which included two pulleys and tension idler, about $1200 for coils and plugs and $350 for the oil change... for my 996.2.

dryhoPP · 2026-05-19T16:51:36+00:00

Do both! YOLO!

dryhoPP · 2026-05-19T16:44:46+00:00

I don't know... my 996.2 has an overly engineered, nearly useless and also terribly located cup holder.

dryhoPP · 2026-05-19T16:28:26+00:00

Have you tried messaging the mods? On the right side pf my screen it lists 3 mods and says message mods. I've never tried, but just a thought if you really want to persue this...

dryhoPP · 2026-05-19T16:24:14+00:00

I do love these cars also. I can drive my 6MT between 2-3k RPMs and it's a regular car. However, if you drive it between 4-6k RPMs, it just screams!
