I swapped the low beam and high beam bulbs on the driver side and there is a noticeable difference. Both bulbs came out of the same pack, but one is definitely brighter than the other.

Both photos show the low beams.
The photo on the right was taken after swapping the low and high beam bulbs.

There are no wires to run or affect the integrity of the headlight seals. I still can't believe that Porsche would put halogen bulbs into a 2000 model $80,000 car!

Do you have an pics or your headlights that you can post? Also where did you pick up your HID kit?
