What color are the OEM Litronics?

I mean are they 5000, 6000, 8000, or 10000? Just trying to make some aftermarkets HID to match as good as possible to the OEM's. TIA!

There's a lot to this subject. I'd only go with Philips or Osram bulbs. I believe Porsche equips their headlights with Philips bulbs like most other car manufacturers. OEM will always be 4100K-4300K. Don't go with any other brand outside of the two. Any higher Kelvin, you are throwing out less light (i.e. decrease in lumens). The higher up you go in Kelvin value, the more blue/barney it gets. Highest that Philips makes is 6000K. a little less lumens, noticeably bluer. Think about why lighting engineers decided on 4300K. -Closer to daylight; human eye is used to it -The Barney lights will tire you out -Safety and it's the flicker that's cool. not the constant blue/purple color. this is all a result of the projector lens working with the HID bulb. Enjoy!

I was looking at the McColluch kit that another member installed and seems to be having good results with. The kit is offered in 5000K, 6000K, 8000K, and 10,000K. I guess I'll look at the 5000K kit since this would be closer to OEM. How much to the Phillips or Osram kits sell for? Thanks

It's not a kit that they sell. They just make the bulbs. I'm assuming you have the litronics option on your porsche? if so, did a bulb go out? mccolluch sounds like a joke if they're selling 8K+ bulbs with their "kit". just check to see who makes their HID bulbs... and let us know

No OEM Litronics so anything will be an upgrade over my halogens. Here was the original thread.... https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/174156-aftermarket-hid-conversion-results.html Here is the kit I found on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW Any advice?

based off of my quick read, sounds like the kit the dude bought was just bulbs and ballasts on a halogen setup. sorry, but you can't replicate a $1000+ factory option for a mere $300 even if it is aftermarket. issues i see with the kit at a high-level are: -thehalogen OEM setup on his porsche doesn't have projector lenses which means it wasn't meant for/designed to put out light with HID bulbs -the above leads to major glare issues and throws out the light in a dispersed manner that's not focused at all in comparison to a proper project/hid bulb setup (OEM litronics) -the above two things leads to legit safety concerns not just for you, but for the public that shares the road with you What would I do? -I'd pony up and get the full OEM kit replacement with projector lenses, bulbs, all that stuff included... or at least get the projector housing and match it up with the proper Philips 4300K bulb mated to the appropriate ballast -otherwise, i'd stay stock. the stock halogen design is superior (and legal) to the setup the other dude has on his car now. you get what you pay for here. especially for such an important item as automotive lighting. 6000K on his range rover sounds sketchy too. esp if he's rollin' in the older model year since it doesn't even offer HIDs from the factory. i got nothing against him, but his choices are ones that i would not duplicate for myself or recommend for anyone else.
