Headlight

Thanks for the info a lot of food for thought on converting pop ups. I have an appointment tomorrow to put the 928 on a lift and give a look to asses the damage I might have caused while trying to remove the cover from the fender recess. Wish me luck.

Not to highjack the thread but this has been intriguing me since I saw it on ebay:



Is this the special order you mentioned above? I thought it looked factory yet cheap and bland compared to the original so not worth doing as a custom.

Do you have any more information such as why Porsche would even go through the retooling expense to offer such an option?

That was a factory option but I think there were some aftermarket ones done as well.

Found out the motor that operates the head lights is not operating checked fuse it's OK.

Call 928 International and get a used warranteed one.

Pat, if you have a meter and can test for power with the motor unplugged while someone turns the switch on and off, that will tell you if you are getting power up to that point or to the motor.
If not then there may be another connector or relay closer to the fuse but still under the hood.
Its called tracing back to find the problem.

It could be a switch, could be a relay or a corroded wire somewhere. Verify before you buy.

If know one has done this and speaks up then I will help you but I have not dug into the head lamp wiring yet.

Do me a favor though. Take exact pictures of every test at a connector so that I know exactly what you have done.

Have you started a car profile thread yet, if not you should.
It is a journal of your car.
I record everything I do with detailed pictures for future reference, and it helps others that might have the same problem down the road.
