Default HID install...

Who has successfully installed HID's on their 993? I have searched for this but have little info on the wiring/splicing subject. I would like to upgrade my lighting system but I'm a little reluctant until I get the wiring details. Anyone have this information?

I used the Vertex kit. I didn't splice any wires.

What city do you live in? I am in Vancouver and am happy to show you my set up.

Toronto...A bit far I'm afraid. If you have any tips to share, pics or a write up, it would be appreciated.

I got this link from the Boxster/s forum here. Just installed them in my Disco2 with no wiring to cut. easy to install .. although it took 2 weeks to ship (was free & NO TAX's).

Try this link -----> http://www.cqlight.ca

Mine were $179.99 USD = 212 CDN .....

I ordered the 6500K .... man is it BRIGHT

If you do a search there is a post that has lots of photos. I believe that it is the ebay kit that a bunch of people bought. That will give you a sense.

One small advantage of the Vertex kit is that they give you the pre-drilled plastic backs for the light housing. Saves you a step.

If you want to ask some questions, PM me.

I have the 6000K, lots of people swear by 4300K, which is whiter.
