I'm one for OEM, too, even if more expensive (within reason). I could be interested if US and a complete kit. I want something turnkey where I have all that I need, and I just install. I will double check with my dealer, The Porsche Exchange.

Me too. If 100% complete, OEM, new in box, US, etc.

OK, first of all I have nothing to do with this transaction, I haven't talked to the seller, I've only read through this thread. However, I thought that I'd help TheBen out here a little bit and get the names of the people who have expressed interest in one place.
So far we have:
1. TheBen
2. luial
3. Carlos993
4. il pirata
5. jaholmes
6. gonzilla
7. civerson4
8. fineito
9. mrsullivan
This are people who are interested in a 100% new plug and play kit.
I left off mpgandco and vjd3 because you guys expressed interest at $900/set and that was just an idea from me wondering how low we could get the guy if we got more buyers.
As it stands now, we're one away from 10 people, so according to TheBen's post #18, if we get one more, we should be able to get them for $1100/set. That's where I'd like to be at most. Just putting that out there!
I'm still wondering if the seller has room to discount more if we get more RL'ers on board. Hmmmmmm....

Morning everyone - this is direct from the seller:
"Hello, I am told by my distributor these are direct fit for 97-98 models but will require a wiring harness and controller for earlier 993's. These will only work on USA/Canadian version cars. My email address is all4ofus@vermontel.net. Thank you! Matthew Alldredge"
This is a link to the auction, of course we're getting a better price.

Matthew said he can send everyone an invoice direct. I will ask him what the discount is if we take more than 10 sets.

To my knowledge there is no difference for all 993 so it should fit from 95 to 98. The challenging part is the controller / ballast as they tend to go bad. Porsche sells them for ~$700 per side if I recall correctly. I always got my spares from ebay etc as they also used in the earlier 996 and boxter. I usually pay little bit more than $100. This is the ballast you need.

I can only imagine that this is a additional cable you need. The full kit is a controller that cable and the full headlight. Your current cable goes into the controller and from that controller a cable is needed going to the headlight. Again, in a full set this should be all included.
