Was about to get myself a HIB conversion kit but someone flagged up that they screw with the canbus on a 987. A compromise might be to get better bulbs. Has anyone used these on their 987.1 without hitch?

I'm sure you can get kits that are CANBUS friendly?

968 has a CANBUS system and my H4 Nightbreakers are fine on there.... H4 twin pack is £13.55 on the bay. The H7 twin pack is £14.55 inc postage.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121315088400?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&var=420268676727&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Not tried the Osram Noght Breakers in the Boxster but I have got them in my Audi A4 & they were a vast improvement over the standard bulbs that were in it.

Bizman928 on this forum has been sorting CREE LEDs for 928s etc that are impressive, might be worth getting in touch to see if he has any thing thats canbus friendly? Website here http://woodypeck.ipage.com/

Good solution if you already have the kit. I'm sure you can get a new kit with this tech built in now.
