I was lucky enough to score a set from my local dealer when the new 911 showing was going on. I got them for $900.00 because they had been sitting around for awhile. I did wire them in so that the low beams swivel up when the high beams are on. These babys really light up the road, in fact if the road signs are fairly new the reflection is really bright. I do recommend installing the wiring kit that comes with them, it is really easy. I did just splice in the wire though since I did not have the tool to remove the pin. It is not rocket science, just geting power to the control is all.

It may be worth checking with dealers to see if they have a set around because I think most new ones are ordered with them and the upgrade urgency is going out so they may be motivated to move their old inventory.

Westwood, You got a great deal. I am going to keep shopping for a while as I too have some other little things that I need to do to the car first like having the ding in the front fender the former owner put in it on the day I took ownership of it fixed, having the curb marks he put in ALL FOUR Techart formula wheels repaired(how does a guy Grrrr ALL FOUR wheels?) and having the dealer replace the oxidizing front windscreen trim under warantee...... After that, it will either be the clutch job or the Litronics..... I have not decided yet as the clutch seems fine to me, but the stealer (I meant dealer) recommendeded a new one ...... car only has 30K on it.......Hmmmmmm.........

RandallNeighbour, Thanks for the research man. We have all got to band together in a concerted effort to not get ripped off for OEM parts and the like. I mean, I don't mind paying a premium for those things Porsche, but I don't want to pay a premium, premium, ya know?
