Improving 993 headlights

[JB 3.2]

Very interesting post (by mwcarrera), especially the section about dip beam remaining on with the main beam.

I think you will find the conversions will do this. If not then, when you switched back to dip, you would have a couple of seconds of very dim light. Mine stay on.

I believe the 997 "bi-xenons" work with one bulb that stays on constantly and a small baffle that moves to shaddow the main beam when on "dip".

Hello All,

I fitted the HIDS units a couple of years ago.I have the car serviced and MOTd by Paragon in East Sussex and noone has commented on the headlights,but I do get people flashing me at night which suggests they dazzle other motorists.As far as I am aware they are installed correctly.Anyone else come across this?

Richard.

First time I took them out for a real night drive I had folk flashing me for most of journey - was really worried. Then realised I'd left front fog lights on[8|]. Switched them off and not had a flash since. (just occassionally on a left hand bend - but you get then anyway)

The DOT document is indeed interesting, especially as another forum member has detailed that the OEM Litronic option for the 993 was not self levelling. do we know this as a fact?

Does anyone have any experience of these ones one eBay?

These seem really cheap compared with the other recommendations on this thread, but this isn't necessarily a good thing!
