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!

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...
Why not just get the angel eyes and only hook them up if you decide to down the road? They are a nice option and you will need some sort of front running light anyway

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!

Particlewave got the perfect solution for you! I have to agree with him unless your plan is to install another type/color of angel eye then yes to your question, I can leave the bezel blank with the circular holes. Anything custom you need just let me know mate no worries.

Apologies for the massive thread and scattered info. Info you are asking below.

EDIT: just missed the hid part... if you mean Litronic then sell and buy 'new' clear headlights + projectors. If you meant you already have your own hid ballasts and bulbs then a kit should run you cheaper The kit takes Xenon bulbs H1 type.

>>>
The damage on the kit is a cheap but firm $355 shipped using Express Post (ETA 3-5days to you in the USA) w/ tracking number.

Your options are, in []'s being what you can customize:

2x Anodized [color] Bezels [w/ custom laser script/wording]
2x Anodized [color] projector skirts
2x MH1 High Performance Projectors & lens (Ultimate ver.)
2x 35w CANBUS ballasts
2x H1 HID bulbs [you chose your temp]
2x Hardware kit: spacer kit, dremel wheels and two Porsche emblems
2x built-in LED-cob Angel Eyes in [color] (Optional)

* Return and refund accepted shall you decide to not install the kit.

RE Payment; I normally send a PayPal "Request for Money" to your email using the "For Goods" option and list all the above in the invoice. That way the buyer feels comfortable and covered by the PayPal Buyer Protection Scheme.

Any questions just PM anytime

I must have missed actually clicking the link in one of the e-mail notifications of replies, and therefore stopped receiving updates.

Thanks x100 Charles, yes spot on That is what all my mates who either have those in their 9X6s here or simply get to hold these in their hand says about them

Mmmm, look what I've got on the way.

Anodized 10% Grey Bezel with Clear on the rest.
I have something special in mind, so more on that when the install is underway.


Hint: I'll likely be using one of these below:

Using the sample program to flash the LED and stick the board in the bezel?
Or do something more complicated like having the LEDs in the angle eyes chasing each other?

I want to try and create a breathing LED that is tied to the security LED so that when the security is armed a single red LED will illuminate the inside of the Projector cavity and the result should be a dim glowing pulsating "Breathing" visible in the projector lens.

Seeing as I already have some TI ez430-2012 boards left over from my GoPro RF remote shutter project I figured it would be a fun little project to create "Dragon Eyes".

I have some C code for the TI 2012 Micro Processor that will slowly increase/decrease the brightness of a LED in a rythmic pattern to produce the "Breathing".

Angels eyes are old news and I don't want my Porsche to look like a Beamer so time for something new .

He must be busy making Projectors.

I think mine must be in the mail by now.

Looking forward to replacing my burned out low beam with projectors and Dragon eyes.

I guess I should prototype the dragon eyes and detail them on this thread.

Hey Charles! Thread got picked up from other websites. While perhaps gone cold on 986forum some other chaps around the globe are making great use of some of the info in here. The 996 guys are big fans of those shiners for info. The majority of fellow 986 owners are stock Porsche purists maybe

Been busy indeed, finished Ray's and Tommy's kit last wed and the kits are on their way to them as I write. Sweet stuff.... polished gun metal finish and all. I'm not only jealous, I am VERY jealous

I don't think you should Ray, you NEED too

Can't wait to see this. You should have your projectors in hands in a few days so prep the tools and camera!

You guessed! Ten times better than the stockers
Got those with EURO cutoff plates if one day you think of retrofitting as well
