Ahaa, I was wondering about that, thanks for clearing up that question.

I also wondered about the CANBUS Ballast.

Does a 2001 Boxster S have a CANBUS connector that plugs into the Ballast?

I thought I read some where that 2003+ only use the CANBUS stuff.

I haven't replaced my burn't out low beam Halogen bulb yet as I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on these Projectors.

Trying to figure out what would look best on a Black Boxster. I'm leaning towards the Silver or Red bezel, since I have Red calipers and Silver wheels.

I'll have to do the pulsating red LED as well behind the lens to give it that "Dragon Eye" look at night. It should be hooked up with the security LED so that it does its thing when armed.
