Do it yourself 2 LED headlight kit $350 + shipping
Sold
More garage cleaning. I've built several of these headlight kit but I got tired of messing with them so I never finished this set. Comes with everything EXCEPT the Panamera lights. Im including 2 Panamera shrouds just in case someone wants the look but no lights. One has had the chrome stripped off and painted silver, the other is still plasti-chrome. I interested I'll gladly email you more pics. I'll include the original reflector bowl incase you want to change the one back to original but the original inner lens was toast so I see no reason to do that. Includes centering brackets and hardware. Cases are complete and not broken.
Questions or specific pics. jbauer4363@aol.com

This is what they look like complete. I'll even throw in the LED fog lights if wanted but you have to cut the cast for them to work.

Heres a video explaining the process but with xenon projectors. I liked LEDs better.

I did it a wile ago to my 2009 Elantra. It was a huge challenge (not per complexity, but rather time consuming task).
the outcome was awesome. Crisp cut off line, great light distribution. Little foreground light and very well defined hot spot made the overall impression of the FX-R projector great.
I kept the original high beam active (plus the bi-xenon), what meant night-time driving was no different than during a day.
Added LED rings on two different light intensities (DRL and night parking light), what only added a falvour to it.
HID - 4300 K, LED rings at about 5000 K. No blue or other blue-like lights.
Having said that - I would love to take this set off your hands, but it would pain me not have the time to finish it.

Sale pending. It's kind of fun though. I built a couple sets but have lost interest. Much better than factory xenons.

Agree.
The FX-R projector was better than Audi Q5 factory. Comparing how crisp FX-R is, how clean the cutoff is - not many OEMs get close.

Can you provide the link to the LED upgrade kit you used? Was it just an upgrade kit using the existing headlight lens housings or was the LED a complete unit with lenses and LEDs installed already?
