Aftermarket HIDs
#33
Instructor
I bought some aftermarket HID similar to the ones grmnxtc had but the ballasts must have been a little larger than his because I couldn't quite fit them into the housing. Anyways, went back to ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...148957457&rd=1found these new(to me anyways) slim HID ballasts. With these new thinner ballasts they fit into the housing very easily. Here's a few pics with the old and new ballast side to side as well as them installed. Had them in just a couple of days but they seem to work great.

I bought a super slim kit 2 weeks ago. I had to file out the hole for the bulb though. There was a dremmel bit that was perfect for the job. I also had to fabricate springs to hold the bulbs in. They are a bit larger than the OEM bulbs and it threw off the geometry for the OEM springs.

Rich,
I should have mentioned that. I had to shave the hole a little bit as well.
I just modified the existing spring a little bit to hold the bulb in.

I bought these.
The mods were trivial. 2 seconds with the dremel to make the hole accept the lights. 10 minutes with a coat hanger to make new springs. Now, if you are smart enough to purchase a 993, and agile enough to drive it, you have got the right stuff to do these simple mods.

No affiliation with the seller, just a happy customer.
Order the H1 kit with whatever color temp you want (I went with 4300 K). Email the seller as described in the auction listing, tell him what year/model of car you have, that you have H1 bulbs, and what color temp you want. In the auction he also requests you specify what type of wiring harness you want (with or without relay). I wasn't sure, so I just told him what type of car I had. He told me for my car I did *not* need the wiring harness with the in-line relay, but ask him to be sure.
Mine have worked flawlessly.
Best,
Chris
