Is there a noticible difference in the interior with the new light kit? They have the interior halogens on Ebay for around $50 bucks.

The 911 Twin Turbo must be amazing on the roads of Colarado!!! Nothing but straight roads and traffic down here
It is, my dad loves it. The fog lights are PIA H3 super plasma and the inner halogens are Sylvania Silverstar 9005's. The PIA bulbs match pretty closely, but the Sylvania ones are still an orange color; I didn't want to sacrifice light intensity for color. The interior xenons I got are from Bimmian, they make a huge differenc but they are quite a lot dimmer. I left the trunk area lights as the originals, along with the glove box since i need to see what is in those areas. All together the upgrades were well worth it, although I am not so sure about the Sylvania's since I do not have my high beams on that often and the daytime running lights make little difference.

Did you get the foglights from Bimmian as well?? Is it a whole new HID type foglight or just new bulbs?
