I bought a set of these ducts from you in April 2016. Fit, finish and reliabiliity are fine.

Have you always supplied them with a 4500K bulb or might it have been a bulb with a higher Kelvin temperature? My lights have a bluish tint. I would have expected a 4500K bulb to be more white.

We have used quite a few different suppliers over the years and their claims on output do tend to vary Im afraid. Bluish tint would tend to be more than 4500K, if you want to match your headlights (which can all be slightly different due to age and bulb makes) the led festoon bulbs are easy and cheap enough to find on Ebay or Amazon.

Thank you. What length bulb does your duct require?

Great brake ducts, at a great price. This is one of my favorite DIY reversible 993 mods. See installation thread Here

My OCD acts up when I see these placing a square light in a round hole.

Understood. However, the lens is larger than and fits almost flush against the circular rear of the opening. It's virtually impossible to tell the light is square without removing it. In the years these have been installed, no one's OCD meter has gone off when they were near the car.

Can you ship to US? VAT wouldn’t be due on a US shipment right?

31mm or 41mm both work as the brass holder is easily adjusted

Yes, VAT free if we ship outside the UK so you would pay 90.00 GBP plus 40.00 GBP Fedex 48 hour shipping 130.00 GBP all in, about 160.00 Bucks, We declare at 60.00 so you should get hit by taxes

I’m going to be away and will miss the swap meet this year. But, you’ve seen the car at Oley a few times.
