    I bought if from "JAPANIMPORTSHOP888" on Ebay (US seller). Jaycenb .... Thanks for that piece of info. Right now I'm corresponding with the vendor and they are asking me if there is a capacitor in the harness with the fused line. I don't yet know and have asked them what it looks like before pulling it apart. They did not say if the capacitor should or shouldn't be there!!! WHO did you buy the kit from?? Gary .... I have a feeling that your theory is correct, but of course that does not lead me to a solution. But thanks for the thought. Bob

    I fixed my problem by ordering a resistor wiring harness from the folks I bought the kit from. I just installed it this weekend and no more issues.

    Thanks, Bob. That was me who created another thread on the exact issue. My Oil and Batt lights come on together when the headlights are turned on. I then stop the car, and restart it and the problem is gone. People have suggested that the problem is a faulty ground, but I doubt it. The headlights perform beautifully but this problem goes on and is annoying. Mine is ALSO a 2001. It is a direct hookup to the plug that connects to the original halogen low beam bulb as I recall. No rocket science. Wiring goes from ballast to igniter to bulb as instructed. I believe that there was some question re polarity, but I worked it out. I don't want to tamper with this thing again without a strong reasoning as to what could be wrong. Sounds to me like the HID system makes a heavy demand on the electrical system when swithed on, tricking the charging circuits sensors to think the battery is failing. Likely doesn't mean anything bad but is just an annoyance. I'll bet that if the lights are turned on before starting the engine that all will be well. My car is in mothballs for the winter so I can't experiment too extensively. The kit is called Brightstar. I'll search out the original thread and write again really soon. Bob

    Thank you very much, Juniic! I'm a newby porsche owner, I just bought a 2001 boxster 2.7 a couple of months ago (I love it!). I'm approaching the 60k mark and need to get it serviced. I've also noticed a few other issues that I would like to get checked out. A thumping noise from the rear right side when I hit bumps, My alarm intermitently goes off, My front left brake squeeks, and cruising along around 30 mph it feels like I have a flat tire (but I dont). Those are the main things that I need a mechanic for and dealerships seems to charge alot. Thanks!

    Bump... Has anyone seen the same issue?

    No problems when I revert back. We need more info. What year Boxster? Which kit did you buy? I have a 2001 Boxster. I bought the kit off of Ebay, i'm not sure the brand. Kit included: - H7 bulb (6000k) - Balast - install brackets I read somewhere on this forum that someone had the same issue as me but there was no follow up post as to what the resolution was. Thanks!

    I need to buy a new top for my 01 boxster. How hard are the tops to install? Any tips/advice would be great! Thanks,
