Some auctions state it fits the c4s, isn't it the same body as the turbo

We sell these and it does not fit a widebody. I've seen an ebay post where it states it fits a C4s but it was the worst possible photoshop job ever

Just fyi, when you get it, some of the earlier 996s will experience hyperblink on their turn signal as well as some errors on the dash. The 996 NB crowd figured out a fix for this by using resistors I believe.

Clearly in the minority hear, but I hate LED's not so much for the way they look but how they blind me when I'm behind a car that has them. Too bright, I have to squint!

911 James is infamous around these parts
I installed them on my car and have had no problems. The only issue I had was with shipping. I would receive the lights with the corners chipped. After the third attempt I got a good set. I am very happy with my purchase.
