He let me swap out my halogens for his litronics, so here's my impressions after putting them in my 01 Boxster-

Pros: To me, the halogens did not provide enough lighting in low beam mode so I always drove with my fog lights on in conjunction with my low beam halogens in order to get more fill on the road. With the litronics, I no longer need to turn on the fogs.

I prefer the white/blue lighting, and understand that the litronic bulbs themselves will last up to 10 times longer than halogen bulbs while also drawing approx. 30% less power from the battery than standard halogens.

Other car makes (ie. Nissan, Acura, etc.) are including Xenons as standard in their cars these days, and to me, it is almost embarrasing to pull up at a light next to a Toyota Prius or Mini Cooper with xenons on their car when you're crusing in a Porsche with the old tech halogens, regardless of whether or not you've got the 987 improved projector beam halogens. I've noticed other folks, both pedestrians in the street and drivers on the road take notice of the car more than when I had the halogens in them too, so they definitely garner more attention to your car than the halogens. To me, it says that you are riding in a car with the most recent technological advances. IMO, Porsche should put these lights standard in all their cars from the get go. JMHO. YMMV and all that good stuff.

Cons: I'm wary of where I park my car now due to all the stories of people getting their xenons stolen.

Cheers
