Alon,

When Catz was bailing out of the US a couple of years ago I bought an extra (2nd) kit so I would have spare parts for my installed kit. I can check the box and packing slip this evening and let you know the part number. If you want, PM me your email or phone number and I'll get in touch with you this evening.

Alon...

I just looked at the Catz HID transmitter box inside the car. Part number on it is " CZ-GO4-110"

I could not find any of the letters/#'s you posted. This may mean nothing as I do not have the paperwork on the kit.

Hopefully, Mike can shed some more info on it for you. Good Luck........

Thanks Mike and Keith. Call me at 416-930-7405 or simply email me at agat@mobilecom.com and it will get to me via Blackberry.

The numbers that I quoted came from an e-bay listing:

Thanks again,

Alon

I took a look at the pics for the eBay ad & (unfortunately) the bulbs do not appear to be an H1 fit. There are other indications that kit will not work for you (high/low useage). From a cursory web search, Ford trucks don't use H1 bulbs so that validates my initial thought.

BTW, future reference, the Catz "Rising White" bulb is 4300-4500K which is what you want.

Alon,

I looked at the Ebay ad as well. Dan is right (as usual - haven't I said that before?). That's a completely different kit than the Catz's I have. Sorry. I will email you what I can find on my new (in the box) kit at home anyway,

Alon,

The correct Catz HID System for the 993 is (was): Type HB3/4, Aqua White Color,
'R' Code AAA102. This is the information on the side of my (new) spare kit. Hope this helps in
your search. They are a great kit - very high quality and easy to install. They make a huge safety difference, espeially out in the country (deer). I sort of thought these kits would still be available in Canada, eh?
