golfprorich Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I have Litronics on my 986, however I don't think the light output is that great. Especially compared to HIDs on my daily car and the 997. Are there any particular bulbs I can get that would make a difference? I'm not sure without checking what brand are in there at the moment.

mike597 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hid bulb output does drop off as they age. It's worth getting some new bulbs if they haven't been changed for years. I'd always go for decent brand like Phillips or osram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipsqueak Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 There are higher output D2S bulbs available from both Philips and Osram , look on powerbulbs or autobulbsdirect . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there must be odd brands in anyway as they produce a different colour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itguy Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'll be interested in how you get on with this as my litronics in my 2003 986 seem a bit dim to me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxtaboy Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Original bulbs from mine still pretty good. Also curious if the new bulbs make any difference, or if people just need to re-aim them once in a while. I re-adjusted mine this year, and they work pretty well...

mickemo Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have Litronics on my Box and have often wondered if the bulbs were replaceable with a normal bulb or if they were a special (=super expensive) bulb. Am I right then to assume that I can pop a normal replacement bulb in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've haven't even had to replace mine yet though, and am wondering when they will burn out...and I always drive with them on (even in the daytime).
