Well any other car would be a few hundred bucks, but a Porsche, well that's several tens of thousands.

That dim light is a small running light, separate from the high and low beams.
It is the smaller third bulb to the right in this picture and it's what we use to power the angel/devil eyes.

Ahaa, I was wondering about that, thanks for clearing up that question.
I also wondered about the CANBUS Ballast.
Does a 2001 Boxster S have a CANBUS connector that plugs into the Ballast?
I thought I read some where that 2003+ only use the CANBUS stuff.
I haven't replaced my burn't out low beam Halogen bulb yet as I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on these Projectors.
Trying to figure out what would look best on a Black Boxster. I'm leaning towards the Silver or Red bezel, since I have Red calipers and Silver wheels.
I'll have to do the pulsating red LED as well behind the lens to give it that "Dragon Eye" look at night. It should be hooked up with the security LED so that it does its thing when armed.

Angel eyes pictures
Those are a set of white angel eyes. Hate shooting at low ambient lighting... just never works. It does however give a good idea of that unique dotted pattern with the double reflection effect in the clear lens. The angel eyes are white themselves however some of the reflections have a very light blue'ish tint. Looks extremely modern.
below is just an overview of what it would look like while having the parking light ON alone. Looks pretty slick with both angel eyes and HID turned on - should have pics of that coming soon.

Hey Bruce, glad you like these ones mate. Not only they are killing nice & functional but also 'very expansive looking'. Nice mod in all honesty. Most of that expansive looking effect coming from the gunmetal finish/color I personally think.
Get a kit while the offer last is my best advice to you Read "Limited Edition"

Sorry Crono...I wasn't ignoring you, just been thinking the project over. The only thing that has me worried is the quality/durability of the housing and outer lens on those units. I've never seen a set in person, so I'm not sure.
I'd like to try to find some info regarding the strength and melting point of the plastic...

Sent you a PM.
You're going to be stabbing in the dark. I'll try to get some info from my supplier, but I highly doubt I can get you much.

Crono - I've recently seen those aftermarket headlights that you have. Unfortunately they are not serviceable like the oem Porsche headlights. The lens are "glued" to the housing (permanent). Genuine Porsche headlights uses a silicon base seal which makes it extremely easy to open or service.
Your best bet is, if you are serious about upgrading to high performance projectors, is to find a set of (used) Porsche headlights and retrofit those instead.
If your aftermarket headlights are still in good condition you could sell those and that should be more than sufficient to cover the cost of your entire retrofit (that incl a set of used Porsche headlights!).
Just an idea for you mate

Nine8Six, if I get a set of these but without the Angel Eyes LED option will I still get the Bezels with the holes for the Angel eyes?
I'd like the ones with those holes so I can always upgrade later on in case I do want angel eyes later on.
Plus they just look great with the holes in any case and it saves some weight...

How Does One Get These?
Nine8Six: You're selling these? If so, how much? I have the HIDS so what are my options for adding/converting? I love that Angel Eyes look!

Contact him via private message for pricing and options, but I can tell you this- these projectors are on par with commercial units as far as price and far better quality. These things are bullet proof and drop dead gorgeous!
