Hi, Does anybody have wiring diagrams for the front lighting of a 996 Gen2 (2002), 997 Gen1 and 997 Gen2. I am especially interested in the pin-outs of all the different connectors. The reason I need all three is a little contrived ... I am converting the front end of a 2002 996 to a Gen 2 997 using, as much as possible, original Porsche parts. On the electrics side, I already have 997 Xenon Headlights, 997-2 LED DRLs and 997-2 side repeaters. I also have a second-hand 997-2 wiring loom for the front compartment and, after reading re. issues upgrading to LED DRLs, a custom wiring harness and control box that allows a 997-1 to be upgraded to take the DRLs. So, now I just need to work out how to hook it all up together :). So, any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Thanks everybody for the responses. I guess I'm just kinda surprised that it is likely to be a switch / contact issue as I would have expected the lights to flicker as the switch was on its way out or if I wiggled it around.

Hi, My 2002 996 Carrera 4 Cabriolet has just developed a fault and I'm wondering if anybody else has encountered this before and what the likely faulty component is. A few days ago, I started it up, switched on the headlights and noticed that the instruments took several seconds to light up. The warning lights and LCD displays were lit up straightaway as were the headlights. Since then the delay has gotten rapidly longer to the point that I can now drive it for 5-10 minutes without ever seeing the dash light up. Last night I accidentally left the lights on after parking up (the headlight warning bong isn't working either) and several hours later when I noticed this, I also noticed that the instruments were lit up and the headlight warning bong working again. Googling around, I see that there have been problems with the headlight switch and ignition switch that can cause these functions to fail. But this doesn't appear to apply here as the fault appears to resolve itself if the car is sat switched off for a period of time - i.e. it doesn't appear to be a dodgy contact issue. Any ideas, anybody? Thanks, Matt
