hey guys... I purchased an hid kit which consisted of a set of two h3 bulbs and two slim ballasts and igniters for $39.95 plus shipping. I installed them in my 04 998 and its a night and day difference (the stock lighting is useless)! The h3 bulb fits perfectly fine in the h1 highbeam spot. the ballasts are 35 watt ballasts and they are lower amperage than stock. The ballasts are very small and fit right behind the oem cluster. Lots of guys on the r1 forum use these. I Will post some pics of the outcome soon... but if you are interested in the upgrade, these kits can be purchased from ddm tuning. They are the raptor brand ones and come in pairs.
