Awesome
Made a start on the headlights earlier. Bought a dremel and a metal mill bit, and got to work. Didn't have much time to work on it but I got over half way through the first headlight at least.
I'll finish it tomorrow, and will sand & polish it back up to a shine. Should look identical to a facelift headlight then.
The plan after that is the same - to open them up, fit a projector lens inside, and to seal them again. They'd then
look like facelift litronics, but made for a fraction of the price.
And then I thought, while I've got them open, what if I change the colour to the inserts? Now this is what I was thinking. The Carrera GT has black inserts with projector lenses. Many cars have black inserts with projectors as the inserts are obsolete and don't need to reflect anything while a projector lens is present. Even the new 991 GT3 RS has black inserts.
As you can see:
And this is someone's retrofit, like I'm going to do (minus the yellow indicator), but with black inserts:
I quite like that. Here's what they look like on black Boxsters:
So that's what I'll be doing. They'll be turned from pre-facelift egg yolk reflector headlights, to facelift modern black insert projector headlights. Very cool!
