Headlights internal wiring harness replacement service 996.2

We don't offer a complete replacement harness for sale for the 996.2, since the main connector block on this harness is no longer available. In addition, this connector is very hard to remove from the housing without destroying it.

It is for this reason that we offer this headlight harness replacement service. This service includes the following:

You send us your headlights. We perform an initial inspection and provide you with a short video. We remove the lenses & all contents; Remove the old harness and save the main connector block. We then use all-new wiring, connectors and pins to rebuild the harness. Next, we remove the old sealant from housings & lenses, and thoroughly clean everything before re-assembly; We then re-install the new harnesses, and all internal components; We reseal the headlights using a high quality butyl rubber sealant. We test the finished lights for proper operation, first on a test bench and then mounted inside our own 996.2. If all is well, we use professional packaging to box your lights up, and return them to you with UPS Ground service, including insurance, inside the lower 48 United States.

What is NOT included?

You can select additional optional replacements, including new outside rubber seals, and bright LED bulb replacements. Never change a bulb again with these bulbs that will last 10,000+ hours.

We also offer professional lens refinishing if your lenses need it. We use a local body shop that specializes in sanding, polishing and applying PPF to high-end headlights, making them look as good as new! We would be happy to quote this additional service to those interested.

If we find any issues, like missing or damaged parts or components during our initial inspection, we will contact you to discuss a potential fix or replacement. Since Porsche doesn't sell replacements for most of the parts that make up the 996 headlight, we keep a modest inventory of used parts on hand, just for such occasions!

996 headlights are now all (well) over 20 years old. Brand new replacements are incredibly expensive, and still come with the same flaws (antiquated projector and HID technology, wiring that will deteriorate at some point, etcetera). Better to spend the money on replacing the harness with one that'll last forever, while having your lights thoroughly inspected and fixed if necessary.

While we have your lights here, please consider installation of a Retrofitlab projector upgrade kit. Retrofitlab of the Netherlands is the leading offeror of headlight upgrade kits for older automobiles, and we happen to be their exclusive US distributor for their 996 upgrade kits. If you include one of their kits in your order, we will waive our normal installation fee of $350. We promise you that you will be blown away by the improvement of your light output!
