02 996turbo head lights

How do I tell what type of head lights I have. I'm looking at going with the 8K bulbs. I don't know if I have the HID, Xenon, litronics.

looking at the headlights, if you have Litronics, the lens will look like a little 'eye' (a small circle of glass) within the larger lens. if you have what looks like just a normal headlight lens, then you have halogen bulbs.

Litronics

normal halogens

you'll just want to be careful buying any aftermarket bulb if you have the normal halogen lights. the aftermarket 'xenon-look' bulbs frequently put out too much heat and you can melt or discolor your headlight lenses, and they are NOT cheap to replace. just make sure the bulb wattage is 55-60w or less.

if you don't have Litronics, many people have done a xenon conversion for relatively cheap money ($130-$200). here's a link to one. you can find many more conversion kits on eBay.

This is a pic of my head lights on my 996tt. Are these the Litronics with the fish eye looking lens?

Yes, and all 996TT's have Bi-Xenon (like Litronic).

Loren thank you again for the help. Do you know any brand I should get for the 8000K bulb? I see alot on ebay. They are made in China, Japan. I did get a set from Pia at one time. Also do I get them for both low beam and high beam?

Thank you again for all your help.
