Headlights

Your Headlights look waaaay better than the new black housed LED ones. I have the litronic headlights and I want to do the inside like yours. I would appreciate your help if you have some time to advise me on how to get started.

I never could get my camera to take a good pic of the angel eyes at night so I snapped one in the early morning.

maybe I missed it but what side markers are you using? They seem to be jutting out a bit

I am interested in doing my own retrofit in the near future.
However, since it would take me several days to experiment (my first retrofit)
I would buy a set of new oem lights or aftermarket equivilant so I could drive the car and still work on the retrofit.

My question is where do you go to find the cheapest headlight units?
I am thinking I saw the cheapest were about $600 for a pair for oem from partsgeek.com.
I am a BMW guy so I am used to seeing a pair of DEPO or DJAutos (which are both proven to be equal in quality as oem) for like $100-$300.

Hi,

I'm interested in having you rebuild my headlight assembly to look like yours.

Please let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,
Dan

I would also be interested in having you work on my headlight assemblies. I would prefer to buy a set that is finished and just send you my existing set as cores that you can work on for your next customer. The reason is that I worry that one gets messed up in the process.

Vader welcome to the overpriced Porsche world. I've never seen cheap lights.

Sent a PM Dan.

Sorry Ckrikos I don't have any cores
