Coleman -
Are you referring to the HID SCMR16 in your link ?
I am looking for a good light for my Turbo S ducts. I am aware of the Hella Micro, but am interested in exploring all the lighting options.
Thx for any info.

I'm rolling those.. Stuck them way deep in the lower area of my turbo front bumper cover.. They are really nice...

I just installed HIDs in my MY94 993 cab using the slim ballast from this seller in Hong Kong and 4300k H1 lights:

As others have noted the bulb opening needs to be enlarged slightly by a few mm using either a dremel or rat-tail file. I used the "plug and play" install method using bullet crimp connectors so the mod is fully reversible (since a new law was just passed that makes aftermarket HIDs illegal in Hong Kong), and easily fitted the ballast and igniter in the the light housing. Took less than an hour including cleaning up the inside of the light housing and I took my time with the dremel.

I am running Hella HID projectors in the Turbo-S fog lights with similar results.
