Personally if you put a small shroud on the projector it would be perfect. Great work! :)

FANTASTIC! You should do a DIY! I have been wanting to do this for a couple years. I have bought the parts but haven't had the time. Can you post pics of them on? I really like the DRL.

Better than Lits by a Mile. I wanna clear my blinkers like that.

Don't the running lights obscure the light throw of the low beams?

The bottom half of the reflector is the high beam.
However, with bi-xenon, the HID functions as both the low and high beam. The halogen high beam is only necessary for daytime flashing, which the OP will need to pass inspection.

You need shrouds. It looks a bit off without them and the light scatter is not ideal.

shrouds.

Thanks for the explaination Particlewave! I haven't found the right shrouds yet. I really really like the ones nine8six makes! Think i've seen them on Rennlist...

Hi, how do you get into the lamp to fit the bi-zenon and what are the bi-zenon units. Thanks

aviator at elstree 11-24-2018 07:07 AM

What bi-zenon units should I get for UK RHD

redciv1 11-27-2018 10:50 AM

You have to heat up the entire headlight to soften the adhesive. I believe it was maybe 250 degrees for 5-8 minutes monitoring. There is a video on Youtube for opening 986 headlight.

Purchase
 
Hi

Where can I buy these bi-xenon lights?

I have a 2001 Boxster (R21 RGF reg).

Thanks
