That dim light is a small running light, separate from the high and low beams.

It is the smaller third bulb to the right in this picture and it's what we use to power the angel/devil eyes.

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.

Angel eyes pictures

Those are a set of white angel eyes. Hate shooting at low ambient lighting... just never works. It does however give a good idea of that unique dotted pattern with the double reflection effect in the clear lens. The angel eyes are white themselves however some of the reflections have a very light blue'ish tint. Looks extremely modern.

below is just an overview of what it would look like while having the parking light ON alone. Looks pretty slick with both angel eyes and HID turned on - should have pics of that coming soon.
