Fitting a HID kit

[Pickled Piper]

Aceparts,

are these HID kits on your website? I couldn't find anything.

I have a question.

I have a 964, the 964 lights have 1 bulb operating main and dip beam, I.E. a 2 filament bulb, most kits say they are incompatible with this system, however the £69.99 kit says it will operate both dipped and main beam.

Is this true?

Can I fit that lovely cheap £69.99 kit to my 964?

Alan,

Is it possible to get a bi_xenon kit for a 993 or do I need two separate kits?

No, the kits aren't on my site - yet; too busy!

Right, there are two commonly used bi xenon kits used - the cheapest is a HID bulb for dip beam and a normal bulb fitted next to it for the high beam. The propper way of doing it is to have a shutter rotate around the HID bulb.

Although it is possible to fit HID bulbs to both high and low beams on a 993, it's not practical as they take 2-3 seconds to warm up and reach full brightness so won't respond quick enough for most applications.

Hi all

I have a 996 pr-facelift and just fitted the HID kit from ebay and it works a treat. wrapped the ballasts in bubble wrap and duck tape and put them in the area next to the headlights in front of the side indicators. Was a very easy install and they are a vast improvment on the stock bulbs.

You really don't need it - the hi beams become virtually obsolete when you've got HID dip beams. Sounds ludicrous i know, but i've had 3 993's with HID's now, and once they're on the high beam adds so little!

Hi All

Post first night time test driev and the only way to describe the difference is spectacular!!! Blimey!

I've wanted to do this to my 996 C4S for a while.

Which kit do I need?

I am fairly non techy (can just about manage to change the bulbs) is this a job I ought to attempt?

Is there any risk of causing serious damage to the car?

[aceparts_com]

It's a H7 kit for a 996 - same money £125 though 1 year guarantee etc

I wouldn't mind this kit either for my 996, how much is the kit and how much would I have to pay someone to do it for me


Or can any recommend some replacement bulbs?

cheers

You could easily install it yourself given an hour

It PLUGS in, there's no 'wiring' to do, just stick boxes down. It's like lego

Hey Alan.
Seeing as you seem "up" with these HID kits.
How much for a kit for a 944S2 or 968.???
Ta.

So does anyone know if the £70 kit will work on a 964?

Aceparts - do the kits work with LHD lights?

I don't want to change the whole light assembly so still have the original lights but with the beam flattened.
