Anyone have hyper white or Hid kit for their boxster?

Much brighter on the road now?. I find my stock lowbeams a tad weak for some of the country driving I do. I'd hate to hit a deer, the car doesn't have enough trunk space for all that venison

We did a pamper day for the boxster we changed fuel filter, spark plugs and did the HIDs after. You were right it was a very simple install and the lights look great. The only difficult part was trying to find a socket that fit the little hole to pop the headlight off. We used a deep socket 4mm and it worked perfect. We just shoved all the extra parts in the headlight assembly and then closed the backside of it.

I'll post pics in a few but yea i might even write up a diy for it. For this particular one i guess

YEa it's quite a difference. I'm gonna go out and take some pics in a few and i'll upload them tonight. I'm bout to go out for the night though so i guess u'll see it tomorow :-p

great easy little mod and makes a big difference in looks and visibility. Looks real clean on a glacier white boxster

Here are the pics as promised. Also about the visibility it's true that you can see more cause the light shines out more but the only thing is that the light is slightly blue so it's a little darker than the nasty stock yellow ones.

I wanted to take more pics at different locations but we just took some in front of our house and our friends place. I think they look amazing really makes it look clean and for a great price too. $70 not too bad at all for such an amazing difference in looks.

Here are the pics













You can tell from some of the pictures that's it's slightly blue from certain angles. It's just all around awesomeness i'm very pleased with it

Like al83 said you can just shove the ballast and everything into the head light assembly once you get everything hooked up and close the plate behind it. I'll write a diy for it a little later but now gotta get to work. It's really easy to do it only took me a while cause i was making it more difficult than it was. Don't over think it too much it's much easier than you think it will be at least it was that way for me.

ok here's a quick step by step

1.) remove the carpeting on the sides of the front trunk. You should see a small round plug looking thing on both sides go ahead and remove that it should pop right out.

2.) there is a small nut driver looking thing in there that you have to use a very small deep socket to turn. I used a 4mm deep socket (regular socket won't worry because the socket is too thick for the small hole) When you turn it, it will pop the entire headlight housing off. This is because there is a small latch looking thing underneath it that pulls the headlight out of the socket that it's attached too.

3.) On the back of the head light there is a cover with a tab ont he top side of it find this and push down and it comes right off.

4.) The bulb that you want to change is the top bulb. There is a little metal clip that holds the bulb in remove this and take the bulb out of the housing.

5.) Once the bulb is removed from the housing you can disconnect the bulb connectors and remove the bulb completely. It's connected to the yellow and brown wires that i believe go to the battery, as a live wire and a ground.

6.) Now take your new bulbs take off the plastic protective casing and put them in the housing of your head lights. You should be able to make the plastic piece that is on the bulb and the housing fit snug. I also put the metal clip back on half of the bulb to make sure that it sits tight.

7.) Now the part that i thought was tricky. You kit comes with a 35w Ballast, you want to connect it all up so that everything is connected together. The only part that you have to connect to the original head light assembly are the red and black wires that go into the former yellow and brown wires that the last bulb was connected to

8.) Then connect the bulb connectors to the ballast connectors male/female to female/male

9.) There is another connector that you connect together as well male/female i think both comes off the ballast but i'm not 100% sure i don't remember. If you connected everything up you're good to go. Make sure that the connections from the bulbs are going to the ballast and that's really all you need.

10.) put everything back and your set.

I have litronics in my 2000 S and I put ultra yellow bulbs in my high beam and fog. The high beam gives a Lemans look at night and makes for much better contrast when driving a high speed. I also replaced my front city lights with white LED which look better and last longer than the standard bulbs.
