The bulb is a tight fit no question. You have to find a good location to mount the ballasts. I put mine behind the inside fender wall(plastic liner behind the radiators(?) to prevent water from splashing on it all the time.

I have had these HID fogs for some time now without incident. I can tell you that if you point them upwards you will get more light but you will blind people. I pointed them down so I lost some lighting area. 6K bulbs are not going to give you the lumens output the 4300(OEM) bulbs will. It's pretty good but not great. I might try 5K from philips soon. But right now I like these the way they are.

Thank you GrayTT. NO I didn't think about the Full Front(as in GT Street?) I am really not one for major mods from the classic lines of the Porsche. I wanted to add parts that I felt would give it a little pop but without making it look aftermarket.

The only part I have debating over for a while is the vent or not. I don't care for the CF vent from TA. The GT3 vents are fine but I haven't made up my mind on that one yet. I am about 70/30 right now in favor of it.

"I wanted to add parts that I felt would give it a little pop but without making it look aftermarket."

I call that style!!, thats the way to go. I dragging my buddy that has a good camera on a good day and take some snaps of my car and make my introduction. Ill post them here and on 6speed.

"The only part I have debating over for a while is the vent or not."
