I have it on my car.



The kit's terrible, comes with just the clear plastic cover and the buckets. The first set the plastic cover wouldn't even fit over the bucket (poor fiberglass work). GT's service was good though, overnighted another one to me that fits (barely). I still have the warped one, it was cheaper to keep it than to send it back.

Installation was a pain, as it literally came with just 2 pieces. Had to fabricate :

- bracket for the lights
- bracket to hold bucket in place
- screws to hold the plastic piece in place
- a bit of epoxy to seal off critical areas

Surprisingly, lighting was improved. The stock 944 lights are terrible. I'm planning on getting a real xenon kit for the car, as I drive on pretty dark roads at night to get home.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this kit. My mechanic thought installing the Huntley Racing stage 3 turbo was tough, this light conversion took nearly 3x more time to get installed right =).

The final product looks good from far. Looks cheap up close. Get lots of looks though, mostly confused looks.

More pics available on my 951 gallery.

This one's from a company called ClubAutosport. They qouted me £150 about 2 months ago. The housing is fibreglass, and the cover is Polyester. Not Bad!!!





Oh, and the kit includes EVERYTHING!

I don't think that I want my car looking like and Acura or a Nissan. Although, I hate the drag that the flip light cause. I guess I could always just run with them off?!?
