Project 84 (from the 101 Projects book): Installing an HID Lighting System.

My buddy Tom brought his 2003 Boxster over today and we upgraded his stock bulbs with an HID kit that he bought. Very easy job and it only took us 1.5 hours.

Great video, very clear!! Thanks.
Curious, as you used sticky tape for the ballasts, how is this holding up?
What color did you use for the Xenon? … what is the color of Porsche OEM Xenon?
Did you consider also adding Xenon for the high-beam?
Greetings from The Netherlands!

Can we have a link please for the xenoflo kit? Many thanks.

Greetings from England. I’ve just discovered your channel. I have a 2003 Boxster 3.2S so am in heaven watching your videos. I would like to ask you if you would consider the 101 projects book a worthwhile buy as I have purchased some online manuals but don’t find them very good at all. Keep the videos coming please.

Thanks for the video! Is it possible to fit the ballast in the housing of the headlight? It seems to be small enough.
