Le Mans/headlight change

Hi Andrew,
I didn't do it when I went to Le Mans as it was daylight all the time I was driving there.
I am assuming it is the same method as on the 986 like mine.
It is quite easy to do it if you have done it before! I bought a socket as the box spanner that came in the tool kit was too soft and started to "overhaul the hex head on the fitting. Apart from that do ensure you turn the wrench in the correct direction when releasing the light unit.
This has been discussed at length earlier this year. see LINK
Have a good time.

On the 987 it doesn't matter whether you have the std halogens or xenons - its the same procedure - its about 12 minutes to pop each one out, remove the cover , swap the lever over, replace the cover and refit. Hardly convenient in the channel port and much amusemnent to other travellers, and don't drop the headlight unit [:-]
You'll need a smallish cross head screw driver to remove the four screw securing each rear cover too - the one in the toolkit will do but its a bit fat really.

you can't do this on the projector style lens of the later 996s, 997s and 987s
Pocedure is the same whether for halogens or xenon
