Hi my name is Fred and I am a new member here.
I am getting a PPI done Monday at my local independent Porsche mechanic on a 1997 Arctic Silver Metallic Porsche Boxster. I found it while in search for a BMW E46 330i. It happened to be at a local dealership and the price seemed right so I started my research. The dealership, who has a good reputation in town, said they performed over $1000 in maintenance and said it would be no problem that I do a PPI with my mechanic. The dealer said he had no doubt the PPI would show the car needs very little so I am pretty confident that I will purchase this car by Tuesday.
So I am currently thinking ahead and as if I own the car already
Lighting. The lights it has now are the stock halogen with amber and this will be ok for a while, but I need modern HID lights for all the night driving I do.
If anyone on here has Lightronics lights, can you post some pics of how the cutoff pattern looks. These lights are pretty expensive, are they $2000 for a set? I haven't found a source where they are cheaper. Also, from what I understand is that they actually don't auto-level unless you have the oem version?
My other thought is to do a retrofit. I am sure most of you know about theretrofitsource.com. I wonder if anyone on this forum does retrofits for people? I personally have never tried. I like the idea of having a super nice cutoff, and extra wide range of visibility at night. I imagine doing a retrofit would be a cheaper solution and possibly a better one because I assume Lightronics have outdated projectors.
Ok I would like to hear responses from owners of Lightronics or owners who have retrofitted lights. Thank you.
