Was just curious - if I convert to HID's headlights - am I asking for trouble?
Just worried that they are not reliable. Does anyone have any experience after converting over? Also can someone recommend a shop in Northern NJ that would install? Thanks

OK, Jack, do a search on HID conversion. Use advanced search to limit to 993 forum. You can spend your next day reading the many satisfied owners' reports and 1/2 dozen how-to-dos.

I bought mine thru ddm tuning around 65 bucks shipped to Canada. There are plenty of DIYs out there. Was super easy and the ballasts will fit inside the headlight housing. No need to bring it to someone. I have the 35w 5000k Slim ballasts and couldnt be happier.

I did exactly the same three years ago and am equally satisfied. When I replace the bulbs, I'll probably use something nearer 4300K for a bit less white light.

Very happy with my DDM HIDs. Install took about 30 min...this is a 1 on the scale of 1-10 DIY jobs.

Hey Jackcas, why don't you do it like I did?
I ran HID's for some 4 years and now finally converted to Bi Xenons.
Here's my link.

You also get LED bulbs for the fog lights:
