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.

Also, there is one site that actually sells 987 Boxster S xenon projectors, but you'd have to open up the headlight and spend quite some time changing projectors.

It's the alteration of using bulb bases for halogen headlamps with the outer shell from xenon bulbs; enough testing hasn't been done (or will be done) to DOT approve them.

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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Hi guys, I just found, if you have regular head lights and you would like to upgrade to XENON... go to this web site:http: www.kaixenkits.com Cost aprox. $280 (depends). It is install yourself thing, easy like 1.2.3 I hope this will help you..

POST 2Original post

Before you do that in the US, just beware that all HID conversions are illegal unless they come from the factory (i.e., Porsche OEM parts).

POST 3Original post

I am sorry to hear that. Personally I am not from US and I guess this is not a strictly site for US citizens. There might be someone reading this perhaps from Japan ?? Any way, it is good to know, thanks.

POST 4Original post

Perhaps that law exists to prevent the use of non-self-leveling units. Glare is the issue.

POST 5Original post

It's not necessarily glare, as d2r reflector based, non-self levling xenon headlights are legal if they come from the factory. It's the alteration of using bulb bases for halogen headlamps with the outer shell from xenon bulbs; enough testing hasn't been done (or will be done) to DOT approve them. Better HID retrofit companies typically do what they can to realign the beams to prevent odd beam patterns. I personally am not very impressed with Kaixen's product or website, other companies are out there that seem to have better kits. Also, there is one site that actually sells 987 Boxster S xenon projectors, but you'd have to open up the headlight and spend quite some time changing projectors. - Suneet

POST 6Original post

I dunno but the cops forum discusses it and the DOT site has cases where they went after the people who sold them in large numbers in the US. I think its mostly a safety thing ... not DOT approved. Will you get a fix-it ticket. Doubtful, unless a cop sees you coming at them with glare in HIS eyes. Then he might (or so I have read).

POST 7Original post

It isn't legal in any country, you guys have DOT marking, whereas here in Europe we have EC and R approvals (those circles with an E followed by a number and a bunch of numbers outside the circle you can find in every component of your cars). Anyway if you don't have autoleveling for the headlights as well as the headlamp washing can not be approved and that is really difficult to retrofit. By the way in Asia-Japan (TRIAS) they have its own approvals as they do in the Middle East (Gulf Standards), Australia (ADR)... Anyway, it is not legal to do it anywhere

POST 8Original post

Would a cop really know what he/she is looking at? Would you think twice if you saw a Porsche with HID's?

POST 9Original post

that depends. If its 4200K, probably not. However, most kids want to run at 10K or 12K ... extremely purples and the cops know that. They are pretty easy to pick out ... just find a long line of cars at night and find the one with the purple lights.

POST 10Original post

I thought all lights are not autoleveling, am I wrong? And halogens and HIDs are usualy tied to the suspension. I know in my other car there is like tie-rod on both sides that is connected to the headlights (that car is non-HID).

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
