Hi guys, looking at my 986.. headlights are cloudy and due to the previous owner putting the wrong bulbs in, there is damage to the inside of the lens. Still passes MOT, but it looks messy and the light output is poor IMO which dents confidence on b-road night driving.

Are there any decent plug and play upgrades?
Seen some LED ones out there with weird aftermarket patterns - not what I'm looking for really.

Would just like a good like for like replacement with better performance. LEDs would be good but would need a pro to wire them if required.

Opinions and welcomed! smile

Look on ebay for nighteye led kits. Simple figment. 9000lm kit is what I have.

LED no good if the lense is damaged. Get some OE new units then upgrade the bulb. Plenty of her experience on boxa.net

Yes, I'm looking at new units.

Just didn't know if there were some good after market solutions making their way to market.
