$120 HID light upgrade for you Halogen guys
Hey incase any of you are interested in replacing your halogen bulbs with a good HID bulb kit, Goto the link i post and select the bulb color you like and the bulb size your boxster uses ignore the other options cause you dont need them.
Then click "add to cart" and enter this promo code "groupbuy2" without the quotes and the price will drop from $220 to $120 bucks.
My buddy already bought some from this guy and they work great, comes with balasts and HID bulbs, No wire cutting involved cause the balast comes made specifically for your bulb type so your factory wiring plugs right into it. They give you a 1 year warranty for bulbs and the balasts.
My gf just bought a set for her 08 c-class, she didnt realize she didnt get the HID upgrade from the dealer lol.
Just dont forget to change your headlight fuses from a 7.5amp into a 15amp.

CJ,
What color bulb did your GF put on her 08 C Class? I have a buddy of mine who made the same mistake, now he wants Xeons. What is the OEM MBZ bulb at?

Its funny you say Xenon cause wednesday i had this conversation with someone about my Litronics headlights and he asked me if i had Xenon or HID, and i said hmmm isnt it the same thing and he said Xenon are just bulbs that dont require a balast cause they arent High Intensity... and HID are High Intensity and are better than Xenon.
Is this true, is Xenon a halfway point between a Halogen and a HID Litronic?

Fyi
If you already have Litronics and would like to upgrade the bulbs to a brighter or bluer color... you have to contact the vendor and ask how much for DS2 HID bulbs.
Porsches use a type DS2 HID bulb.

Xenon is the gas within the headlight that's charged with electricity to produce light. These require the ballast and are the bulbs used in "litronics" and "HID" systems.
Direct fit Halogen replacement blue bulbs that are sometimes called Xenon (on ebay and such) aren't really Xenon at all.

If you have oem litronics but don't like the color, or if your litronic bulb burns out, can you use the bulbs in this kit rather than buy the oem bulbs which I understand are $250/ea?
What do you mean by size? Does "H7" relate to size?

Factory Litronic color is 4300k and 5000k, My buddy has got the 6000k kit which is what i would get..
My GF is getting 6000k, its an H7 bulb, The OEM bulb color for the MBZ HID would probably be the same as the boxster between 4300k and 5000k.

CJ,
You sure the 2008 Mercedes C Class uses the H7 Bulb?
