Debating about litronic

[FrayAdjacent]

I kinda agree with some sentiment... $100 ain't a lot of savings on 'em... They are nice to have (luckily they were one of the options my preowned Boxster came with). They're really not that much brighter than the H7 lights. The autolevelling thing is neat, but not necessary.

If you could find a used set on Ebay, or at a dismantler for significantly less, I'd say go for it... otherwise, just stick with your H7 setup.

I HAVE seen decent results with HID kits, but be wary, make sure you can obtain spare parts or extras if you need it, and keep your old bulbs around in case you need to revert back to stock.

I would not buy anything in the lighting and electronics category used from Ebay.
Neither would I pay anything near the new Brand New retail price.
if they stop working after two months you have no recourse and they aren't really repairable.

Check Rennlist or Porsche Pete's for another group buy.

Thanks guys... great input. You've persuaded me to stay away from an H7 HID modification int the halogen housing.

I think I might consider doing a body kit install. The GT3 is nice, but the GT2 front bumper is sooo much sweeter.

I've seen a few pictures of people who have put on a GT2 bumper, does that requires alot of modification to the body?

Any recommendations for where to pick up either and the approximate cost of the bumper and the installation?

Thanks!

the GT2 is aftermarket fiberglass. The GT3 is factory polyurethane.
lots of cons in going with fiberglass like how much your body shop is going to charge you to shape it so it will fit properly. And fiberglass for Porsche stuff is horribly over priced given its fragility and low cost to make.
