[QUOTE=vujade]First off do you mean 996 or 993 because there were no 2003 993's made.


If you meant 993, then there is a guy in North Carlona that has grafted 993 headlights into his beetle. & I have also seen one guy in Europe that has grafted them into a ghia too.


I am the guy from NC with the 993 headlights grafted into my GL fenders. The main problem is that the rear housing of the headlights are large & protrude into the fenders well past the stock buckets which were removed. A second set of fenders were used to mount the headlights out an 1" ahead of the original location which actually looks pretty good. Also the headlights had to be mounted at the angle of the original 66 headlights otherwise the backs of the headlights would have been angled down right into my 18" wheels. I believe there is enough internal adjustment in the headlight bulbs to compensate.
