I have bought this kit. However my kit didn’t stop flickering. Many times I repeated installing process,but problem has not been solved. I couldn’t find the cause. Finally I removed DRL control unit,and added a simple on-off switch instead of DRL controll unit. Then I put in this on-off switch on the dashboard. Now I can control DRL from drivers seat completely. Only one thing I have to care is that I must switch off DRL when I leave my 997. Totally I am very satisfied with this kit. Recently I bought LED taillights of Morimoto. It is very easy to install and working completely. And LED taillights makes good combination with this headlights. Totally I and my 997 are very happy with Morimoto lights kit.
I just installed the 991 gen style LED headlights on my car but these look so much more modern and quality ! Guess I'll be ordering another set of headlights !
Would be interested in a set for 987 boxster/cayman as well. Great to see you starting to address the newtimer market for the popular models where plenty of these are still on the road.
996/Boxsters need one of these headlights waaaay more. The biggest complaint of those two cars is the headlights. Both the style and the output is criticized. I hope these 997 lights do well and encourage you to corner that market!
@@ardoin_337 997 buyers probably more likely to shell out $1800 for a pair of replacement headlights. Also, how are you going to fix the 996 headlights with drop in replacements? Morimoto improves the lighting and style of the headlights. They can't change your car's fender and bumper.
Just completed assembling the lights and my car now looks like this emoji 🥺, pulling the wires was the hardest part for me, now i need to adjust the lights hight and arrange the wires
Looks like you compared your headlight output to a 997.1 which are halogen. The 997.2 has different headlights, Bi-Xenon. What's the difference in output there?
Great question! We didn't test the 997.2 Bi-Xenon headlights directly, so I can't provide a comparison for the output difference. However, we based our comparison on the 997.1 halogen setup since it's a more common point of reference. If we get the opportunity to test the 997.2 Bi-Xenons in the future, we'll be sure to share the results!
The right light came out easily. The left one doesn't budge. Is there an alternative to the include headlight removal tool. I already bent the tool and no luck. Please advise soonest.
The Morimoto XB LED headlights for the Porsche 997 are compatible with the vehicle’s standard single and dual projector headlights. However, they are not fully compatible with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS). If your 997 is equipped with PDLS, the headlights will work, but you may encounter an error code related to the AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System). This can be resolved by flashing the ECU to eliminate the error. If you need further assistance or have any questions about the installation process, feel free to reach out!
I bought the same headlight and installed it on my 997 turbo. However, there are times when the daylight is turned on, and it turns off when the air conditioner is turned on hard. There is no problem with the 12 volt battery. How can I solve the problem?
The A/C is sucking power from the electrical system. You probably do need to get a new battery, or recalibrate the led DRL harness with the AC on full blast.
How about making some retrofit LED headlights for BMW E30 high and low beams? Not necessarily the US Spec sealed beams but euro spec reflector beam ones. E30 community desperately needs some good LED headlights..

Maybe one day!
I'm honestly surprised they did 997 lights before 996 lights lol

Will Morimoto make something like this for the 996 generation cars?
I was waiting for this!
Wait no more!

OOOPPPs. You need to turn the Left one counter clockwise.
Eureka, I got it. New lights are installed and connected.
Hello,
Is it compatible for those who have the directional headlight option on the mk1? (PDLS)

I noticed Bear stated that XB 997 tail lights are coming out. Do we have an expected date for release on those?
No ETA yet, we're hoping very soon!
@@MorimotoLightingthanks! Are you able to say if they will have any protrusions or if they will keep more of a stock flat lens look?
hallo ! have you delivery to Estonia , Tartu. Tnx
Yes we do!
Do they need to be programmed?
Yes, that way the car does not throw a code! Call customer service if you need more help!

Looks like the Holley Retrobright should fit that!
Will these work with the adaptive headlights movement?
These will not work with adaptive option.
@@MorimotoLighting dang, alright thank you for the res.

Yes, we should have some available. Reach out to us - benchmark@morimotolighting.com or 424-239-5142
