I will take a pic right after my car is out from the show.
If you could take a pic with the lights on, and one with them off, that would be great.

Is your car one of the cars in the Topline booth? I didn't have a chance to go to the show this year, but Zim said he had a few Porsches in his booth.

Thanks a ton!! Now, I need to know which exact, generic or other brand makes fog and driving lights that are the same voltage and intensity and preferably match the xenons. Anyone know and can confirm which ones I need? Thanks

thanks for above website it is very helpfull. Is there any problem if I upgrade my xenons to 6000k and then use the superwhite 6000k for my fogs and driving lights?? Will it emit too much heat and possibly melt the casing?

Thumbs up

6000k will look awesome on your car. It won't overheat or melt the casing.

Would I need new ballasts for the xenons or can I just substitute the 6000k bulb. I will then use the 6000k bulbs for both the driving lights and fogs. Hopefully it will match better than my current fogs. PIAA 55w=110w 4150k. BTW, what do Porsche xenons come in at, 4300K?

You don't need a new ballast. Just need to replace the D2S bulbs. It'll definitely match better than PIAA. They still look too yellowish and not enough brightness.

Great, do you know what wattage I would get? The website doesn't offer different wattage options for the H3 or H7 bulbs. I heard that if the wattage is to high it will melt the casing or short out the entire light assembly. Thanks again for all your help. Also, just to clarify, I would order two of each 6000k bulbs:

D2S(xenon bulb)
H3 super white halogen fogs
H7 super white halogen driving lights

Would I need anything else?

They won't overheat, melt or melt. I use them on all my cars w/o any problem.

You can see more comparison pics at http://www.dreamtrade.com/cgi-bin/ya...num=1067673711

Which set-up do you use on your Turbo, 5000k, 6000k? Do the fogs match? the driving lights? and which bulbs do you use?

LSM, Just to let you know the 6000K bulbs will not be brighter than the stock bulbs 4100K. But if you want the blue effect you will get it.

How could they not be brighter, they have a much higher temperature output. They seem to be much brighter and much more blue. Please let me know your thoughts
