Yes I did and your question is timely...
I ordered the lights from one of the vendors on ebay and received them late last week. These lights are NOT anywhere close to OEM quality. If OEM lights are 10 on a 1-10 scale, these lights are a 6 at most. But the aesthetics are definitely good on the car. I had a Porsche mechanic who is a friend install the lights. The HID conversion and installation were straightforward. However, both lights had multiple problems. They both had figer prints on the inside of the projector lens which were visible only after you turn the lights on! The driver's side light had two LEDs that were not working in addition to the fog lamp that could not be adjusted properly (they were aimed way too high and could not be lowered). I am at this point trying to contact the seller to have the driver's side light replaced because it was defective out of the box but have not heard from him (likely due to the Thanksgiving holidays). Once all issues are resolved (otherwise I will exercise my right to return these lights to the seller within 30 days per the terms of the agreement) and both lights are working properly, I will post the complete story and pictures! Standby for more on this...

The final result will be : Dont buy from China/Taiwan and put it on your Porsche, LOL. Unless you like things blinking while you drive, dont mind gaps, and simply you want to make your Porsche hideous.
thats right

The update as of today is that the seller has been cordial and working with me to ship a replacement light for the defective driver's side headlight unit. Thanksgiving holidays delayed things a bit. The light arrives on Monday next week. I will have the defective light swapped out and post pictures once the installation is complete.

Well, I wish I had better news... The replacement light arrived and upon installation has one of the LED lights out. I now have to go through the same process to get yet another replacement light. Or perhaps just return the lights under the ebay buyer protection! It is a shame as the lights look good on the car, IMO - see photos. But the quality control on these lights are non-existent! They are extremely poor quality lights! It is what it is...
