Changing the HID bulbs suggestions

Ive read that the Phillips extreme and the Sylvania ??? will burn the lens in the headlight after a while. Best to buy OEM in this case or else you may be replacing your entire headlamp assembly since replacement lens parts are not available.

I'm going the 35W xenon "Mini Morimotto" Projector route as I also want to update things a bit and get better lighting. I went with Nine8Six's package deal and am eagerly awaiting their arrival any day now.

I think I already lost my "101 Boxster Projects" book to the airport luguage handlers so customs is just another place for "The Man" to stick it to me!

There may have been some blue brake fluid drips on my "101 Boxster Projects" book so it may have registered as high explosives...

This is confused with installation of higher wattage bulbs, i.e. 65W or 100W ... which are illegal, BTW.

The "plus" bulbs such as Phillips Extreme remain at 55 watts and get their improved output from other design changes.

Been using "plus" bulbs for years with no problems and with systems where the bulb is closer to the outside plastic than on the Boxster.

The item most likely to suffer first with installion of higher wattage bulbs is the plastic holding the connectors to the bulb.
