Prepping car for a 400 mile drive at night through the desert, need LED or HID recos
At the end of the month Im doing a rally with my 993 driving 400 miles at night and going through some spots of the desert. Saw these two items and wanted your feedback if you've installed them or have any other recommendations:
A. The morimoto retrofit kit https://www.theretrofitsource.com/mo...Ad65PQe4knJqpU
B. The car light district Led kit https://www.carlightingdistrict.com/...Reflector-1996

No experience with either of the above but these are tried and true: https://www.bergvillfx.com/index.php...-discount.html
Since you'll be driving on deserted roads, I'd also look at an HID kit for your high beams. You'll be amazed at the amount of flight those put out once properly outfitted!

So far as I've read the only LED high beam H1 bulb that fits is the Cyclops, which is only 2800 lumens. This would be a big improvement -- anyone know if the above LED bulb fits?

I highly recommend the 993 retrofit kit, add in the high beam harness too...that allows BOTH the bi-xenon high beam, and the traditional high beam to be on at the same time. I have a Tore HID in the bi-xenon, and a LED for the high beam. Combined with HID in the fog lights, and the car has spectacular lighting,
The beam cut off in the Morimoto bi-xenon is razor sharp, very impressive setup. Also consider changing the remaining exterior lights to LED with Tore’s kit, markers, directional, and especially brake. Massive difference.

I have the first item you listed. Very highly recommend because it replaces the OEM projector. The OEM projector really is the source of the issue. OEM projector with an hid kit (any kit) although an improvement over stock setup, is no match for the morimoto projectors with an hid kit. In fact, the moritomo projectors are superior to the OEM Porsche litronics (factory hid) projectors. Get the morimoto projectors, they are freaking awesome and one of my favorite mods I've done to my car. Night driving is no longer an issue for me.

Another vote for Bergville... I have that kit as well as the Morimoto projectors, and it really makes a difference
