996 MK1 LED Headlights Mockup
Hi,
I am submitting for your feedback this first mockup of 996 MK1 LED Headlights before investing too much time in the design and fabrication of such a new model. I am not familiar with the 996 headlight aftermarket so I would like to better understand the potential for such a product. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Francois p.s. I know the redering quality or precision is not great so please concentrate your feedback on the overall design and your assessment of the potential interest.

Questions I have…
How are you proposing these to mount to the headlights? Is it easily reversible? Do you plan to offer different colors? What is the lens constructed of? I happen to really like the headlights on my 2003. So I wouldn’t be interested except if they were easily reversible just to give a different look when it struck my fancy. |

Looks great. Modern, refreshing, and tasteful. I'd be interested in a set for the 996.2 as well.

What is the screened duct purpose ? Wouldn't the air just dump into the space behind the headlight ? Or do invision a mod to the fender liner for the air to escape ?

The installation will be as easy as the OEM ones. The lens will be Polycarbonate. |

Are the LED's over the counter replaceable ? Or asked another way what happens when/if a LED burns out ?
