Hi,

I was hoping someone could help shed some light for me. On my wife's 2000 996 C2 Cabrio, I noticed the other morning that when the wing was up, a few (left 1/3) of the lights

on the wing were not on. When I had a chance to look at it, I figured how to remove that light from the wing and popped it apart to find that there are in fact what appear to be replaceable bulbs?

As I was checking them, (I manually depressed the spoiler switch to raise it first) - I started the car and turned the lights on...Neither the third brake light or the spolier light came on at all. I had my

daughter go in and depress the brake pedal.....The two normal brake lights (L&R) illuminate, but nothing from either the third (center) or the spoiler light?....Nothing at all....

Any thoughts of what I should begin checking? They were on that morning with some burnt out, and that evening....nothing at all?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Donnie

Hi All,

Was hoping someone may have the wiring scheme for the stock amplifier in a 2000 996 with standard sound system. I think the amp part number should be 996 645 301 01...I think.

I was hoping to connect some componets in the bonnet and the diagram would be very helpful.

Thanks! :renntech:

Thank you Loren! You are the man! Appreciate the help....

Hi,

I think there are only two models a Nokia and one Harman model. I would say your best bet would be to look on eBay. They are on there all of the time and usually pretty cheap. Just look for the one that is compatable with your head unit. Looks like you may also need a wiring harness as well, if it is cut....Unless you have the connector, and then you can just splice tham back.

Good luck to you...

rock, looks nice. Any close ups of the mesh?

I like the headlight covers too. Where'd those come from? How have you liked 'em?

Hi, Thanks.

I have tried to attach some close-ups for you. I saw the ones on the link below, and was not terribly impressed (although

they are probably better than mine:)). Sorry for the large file size, but that wa sthe best way to get a close-up.

The grilel material can be purchased on eBay for not too much $$, and it was actually a little fun to make them. I took apart

the care, cut the grilles, glued the bolts, waxed and re-assembled in one weekend (time for glue to dry too....)

As for the covers, I really like them. I had to paint them to match (ocean metallic blus), an they fasten with the double sided

moulding tape. I used an entire roll.....you know....so they don't fly off at 170 MPH :) I got them from a guy in Germany a while

back, but have also seen similar ones on eBay.

Good luck!

Any contacts to purchase these in the US? Been trying to find a contact to purchase and have shipped to Australia but sinking quickly in the depth's of the net unfortunately.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Kind regards, Richard.

I haven't seen much online, but I was able to fashion a set from stainless aluminum I purchased on eBay. Many people use cable ties to fasten them, but I did not like the way it looked. I flipped the bumper cover up on end, and used 2 part epoxy (plastic steel), and used 4 small bolts (glued the heads in first to the trim piece in the middle. then formed the mesh, and slid down over the bolt threads from inside, and used lock washers and nuts. I think it came out pretty good...Though I am no expert. I attached a photo of mine (I hope...first time I tried:)). It is a GT3 front, but similar to boxsters and original 996. Good luck!
