Ah ok. I tossed the brown and white wire as I did not know it was for this setup. I will email and get another set.
To be clear, the high beam bulb plugs into the blue female ends?
Yes, the two blue plugs fit into the high beam bulb connections. Make sure you are following the right polarity. The way I have my 9006 connector assembled my white is (+) and then follows through to the blue wires in the splitter.
Well my passenger side headlight projector is too narrow to fit Tore’s HID bulb so I guess I’ll have to wait for the Morimoto projectors and hope it all fits. I don’t have a dremel or anything to widen the hole. Everything fit fine and worked on the driver side. Lame!
I used a round file for some gentile material removal when one of my HID bulbs did not quite fit.. Just be sure to hold lens part upward so any shavings will fall down and out.

Below are pictures of the Morimoto HID projector -with the Retrofit Source adapter plate attached - compared to the stock H1 halogen projector. The Morimoto is a much nicer piece compared to the stock unit and appears designed for HID while the stock unit is for H1 lamps. The stock unit has a fixed blind for low beam use only while the Morimoto has a solenoid operated shutter to flick from high to low beam. The higher optical quality of the Morimoto lens is apparent. The spring retention of my stock unit was actually deformed such that the spring fell out and I noted that the bulb wobbled easily. The Morimoto screwed type connection is totally solid.
The installation is easy and tools listed in instructions are right, but make sure you have a T 20 security anti-tamper type Torx and I found a 6 mm end wrench helpful to tighten tube nut spacers, but not needed. One thing I noted is that there are compressible bushings under two of the three projector retention screws and I am sure these were for a fine adjustment when the headlamps were manufactured. One screw compresses the bushing for up and down adjustment and the other for side to side. I'm going to think about using this adjustment when I aim the headlamps - it would require noting the pattern and removing the headlamp to make the adjustments. The Retrofit Source kit is nicely made.
So basiclaly we need to buy both of the products in the links below and it is fairly plug and play? Is this generally accepted as the best solution? (looking for a quick retrofit solution for my 993 as well).

Morimotos are also available in LED projectors, if you prefer. They're not as powerful as 55w hid but latest technology.
Morimotos and Tore is definitely your best mod.

Tore’s HID kit allows you to have the ballasts inside the headlight assemblies instead of in the trunk. The Morimoto projectors are meant for HID bulbs and scatter the light pattern more appropriately. At least that’s what I’ve gathered from previous posts.
Driver’s side is an OEM halogen projector with an OSRAM Nightbreaker halogen bulb (supposedly one of the brightest halogens on the market).
Passenger side is a Morimoto Mini H1 8.0 Bi-Xenon projector with Tore’s 4300K HID bulb.
Third picture is both Morimoto/Tore combo.

BTW, there is no such thing as a LED projectors.
just to clarify things - there two elements to retrofitting the OEM low beam lighting:
1) the projector lens
2) the low beam bulb
Currently, there is only one option aside from the OEM projector lens and it’s made by Morimoto
As for the bulb goes, you can either upgrade with a LED bulb or a HID bulb. It is also not recommended to use a LED bulb in a projector len.
Is anyone running the Micro D2S 5.0 and/or able to see any compatibility issues?
Whilst they have confirmed compatibility with existing ballasts (i.e. BergvilleFX), there are 2 main further considerations :
The threaded shaft on the rear is bigger in diameter - not sure if this will affect us 993 owners?
D2S vs H1 bulb technology for our cars?
Of course the majority on Rennlist are LHD and may not care!
However.... as the Morimoto Micro D2S 5.0 are an upgrade over the Morimoto Mini H1 kit, it may spark some interesting comments?
Hopefully .
