Headlights OEM Porsche or OEM Mazda

Finally got around to getting these signature headlights installed. They look soooo good! They are OEM halos and fit perfectly. I’m surprised that there’s no programming involved at all. Everything just works and I guess Mazda made them plug and play. Took about an hour to do the whole thing but definitely worth it!

My 996.1 is my first Porsche, and it’s consistently able to make me happy. Even the dumb lights are aging surprisingly well.

I daily my ND3. It's still brand new so I'll see what I have in store as far as reliability and maintenance. I got the soft top club trim. I traded in an 01 Mazda Protege DX for it. I drive at night so I can confidently say that the headlights are by far the best I've had.

That\u2019s crazing and is not from driving, is caused by heat and direct sunlight, happened to my 981 on a very hot week I left the car parked unused, one day they were perfect a week later they were exactly like yours. A professional detailer sanded the outer layer and polished it, I then added PPF and they were perfect again.

They work exceptionally well though, the dipped beem on this car is like the full beem on my previous vehicles haha

Cpo is nice from an extended warranty standpoint but the condition of the car is ultimately up to the buyer to determine. There was a gt4 rs that a local SoCal dealer cpo’d with Chinese headlights, non oem hood, and a repaired mag rim.

It\u2019s a nightmare when I drive my 5 at night\u2026 being so low and everyone driving SUV\u2019s the lights just wreck me constantly! Sitting at lights I basically have someone firing a torch directly into my rear view mirror.

Have the same issue in a brand new cayenne. They said the problem is that I live in an area with humid weather and that they cant replicate the issue in the workshop and wont replace them. From what I have heard and read so far, it seems it is an issue with Porsche headlights.

I had to lower the angle of my mazda's headlights. Out of the factory, they were way too high and directly shining into other car's cabins

I can tell you that the old school headlights in the Miata suck.
