Default Litronic/Xenon kits

Hey guys,
I'm -> <- to closing on a car (PPI tomorrow). One of the dangling issues in my head is that it doesn't have Litronics (some people know this as Xenons or HID) and I've always envisioned my 993 with that feature...

Besides getting the $2500 Porsche OEM Litronics, what are my other options (after market or ??) to get HID lights?

Thanks
Dennis

www.departstop.com is always a good option. They are cheaper than retail.

No affiliation, etc...

I have a clean used Litronic set off of a 1997 993 TT. I paid $1,300.00 but will sell for $900.00 + Shipping. Let me know if interested.

Wouldn't put me off, but my standard dipped beam is pathetic and the main beam even worse. By far the worst headlights I've seen for a long time.

Frank,
If they haven't already been snatched up, I'll take them off your hands.
Thanks!

I heard there is a guy in Florida selling them for $1400.00. Anyone else hear this. I will have to ask the guy who told me if he can remember his name and contact info.

The kits that are around $1500 to $2000 appear to be oem kits. Are the original oem kits easy to install and do any of you have experience installing these kits? Thanks in advance

Mark
