Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I changed the low-beams to the HID retrofits bulbs with a kit from DDM Tuning.

Suggestion
Just be aware of two points: HID retrofits into lamp housings designed for halogen bulbs are ticket bait as well as a guaranteed failure at inspection time in many states now due to both glare (halogen housings lack a focusing lens) and the fact that many kits are not DOT approved, which makes them illegal for use on public roads; and when doing a PPI on retrofitted cars, we list the kits as a "deduct" item due to the previously mentioned issues, as well as the fact that replacement parts are nearly non existent.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have the halogen headlights, what bulbs can or should be used? Can I change the bulbs to white light without doing a HID retrofit? What are you guys running?

POST 2Original post

I have a 996 with the base headlights. I changed the low-beams to the HID retrofits bulbs with a kit from DDM Tuning. This seems to work very well. Have had these installed for about a year or year and a half, and no problems.
