Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hi All

I have Litronics on my C4 and they are great. Only problem is, I have fallen in love with a GT3 CS and it doesn't!

Obviously £2k for a proper Porsche conversion isn't going to happen, so what have others done to get HID for sensible money?

easy conversion - should not have to pay more than around £120-130 now. Mine never had a problem with MOT time either and are great.

Thanks Paul. I'm looking at http://www.aceparts.com/xenon-hid/hid-upgrade-kit.htm

but I see they only supply 5000K bulbs - aren't your 6000K?

Any other recommendations for suppliers?

The Factory Fit Bi-Xenons are 4300. Depends if you want that extra blue tint.

Nick, we get discount from them Just quote that you are a tipec member.

Craig just got some from him recently

5000k is perfect, about what your current ones are

Thanks guys.

This will be top of the list when I get the car next weekend.

Cheers for the heads-up on the discount Jason

I arranged the Tipec discount with him a few months back

He used to sell these for £175 on the website and £125 for Tipec members
I see he now has them at £125 on the website, so not sure how much discount now


So are you PXing the C4 ?
or selling it private ?

I hope you know you're gonna p*ss a certain Mr Pig off with your new purchase

I can see a Widow Maker heading towards Reading in the near future

Being both lazy & impatient, I'm going to sell it to a dealer



About time he changed his, so I thought I'd give him some encouragement!



He'll have to convince Kerry that it won't make her a widow first

Hi - don't know if you've gone ahead yet, but I've just done 2 conversions
bought Bosch units off of Ebay (China, obviously...) for £50 delivered !
delivery was 3 days from payment - very quick
Nice quality too
they do 4300K units - you just spec the temp you want
If you need the details, let me know

Thanks anyway, but I bought the aceparts units before I even took delivery of the car! They were fitted this afternoon and whilst the beam pattern isn't as good as the genuine Litronics ones, it's a very worthwhile upgrade.

There is some debate on HID conversions -

Clicky link.
HID legal?

Interesting article. I'm fairly confident that the ones I fitted to mine will be OK, but as a mate has an MOT garage I might just get them checked.

That is the thing that is proving difficult

I've told her that it's just rich people with no brains (footballers) buying the most expensive 911 and not being able to handle them. I'll be fine because I'm a poor person

And that argument's working for you, is it?

Nice one HERE

not really, I need her to get in one to test drive and see for herself. She says it will be interesting to see what it's like
