I would not recommend this item ... the light quality is very poor

Weird. I used this seller and couldn't be happier. Good quality...they appear to be OE with the 55w light retro fitted with a decent fiberglass buildup. Mine are very bright.

You may want to read this thread from Mike at Pcar Workshop - DIY : Improving the crappy turbo S duct lights... https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...ct-lights.html

A great modification to the original turbo ducts is well worth it...The Hella Micro DE also comes in a driving light for those who want the best visibility- you can get a Xenon HID version

Actually, they are stock Hella Micro DE lights ($100) with a simple HID retrofit kit ($50) for less than a quarter of price the Hella Xenon HID lights ...

The beam patterns from these conversions are perfect, with razor sharp cutoffs on the fog lights and a significantly increased projection on the driving lights.

Yup, they work great.

The final DIY is on www.pcarworkshop.com, actually at: http://www.pcarworkshop.com/index.ph...lla_Fog_Lights

Been using them for a few years now....I love them, lots of light. I am thinking of upgrading to HID since my mains are that, and they now look yellow!

Cheers,

Mike

I have a pair of those eBay ones (the guy in Ventura) that I never installed. Somebody give me a best offer plus shipping and they are yours.

Canyon56,
Quality of these eBay ones look that bad or did you just change your mind?

Changed my mind and went with Gert's OEM. Mainly because I also did a bumperette delete with full Euro corners and the body/paint person said he'd prefer OEM parts as he had prior experience installing them.
