Morimoto XB LED Headlights | Porsche 911 (997.1 & 997.2, 2005–2013) | Bi-LED Projector | 992-Inspired DRL | Plug-and-Play
The Porsche 997 is the last of the analog legends — raw, responsive, and beautifully mechanical. But while the drive is timeless, the lighting? Not so much. With hazy lenses and dated halogens, the factory headlights simply can’t keep up. Enter the Morimoto XB LED Headlights: a future-proof lighting solution that respects the 911’s heritage while infusing it with cutting-edge LED performance and 992-inspired design.
Crafted specifically for 997.1 and 997.2 models, these headlights offer OEM+ aesthetics, a massive increase in light output, and a truly plug-and-play experience for most applications. It’s time to light up your legacy.

💡 Why Upgrade to Morimoto XB for Your Porsche 997?
The 911 997 represents everything Porsche enthusiasts love: purity, balance, and timeless design. But with its factory halogen or HID headlights, night-time driving can feel like an afterthought. The Morimoto XB LED Headlights change that — delivering 3,200 lumens of LED brilliance, modern DRL signature, and a stunning visual refresh inspired by the 992 generation.
This is not a gimmick. These are lights engineered for performance, built to OEM standards, and styled to honor your Porsche’s legacy. Whether you’re carving backroads or showing up to a concours, they’ll make your 997 shine — literally.
