Fred, I still can't get over what a huge improvement your projectors made to my car. Thanks again, and although we all knew you wouldn't continue as you have, it's good to hear that they will still be available thru Pelican.
Take care,

Fred, when the kits are available again, will they still say Porsche on them? I assume no, but thought I'd ask.

They are nice looking, but the Porsche lettering is kinda the main reason I want a set.

We would really be able to test the difference!!
Can one interchange???

WOOHOO !!! I received an email from the manufacturer the prototype headlight seals are done He included a picture they look good to me but time will tell. I asked several follow up questions like when will they be ready for sale ? What will the price be ? Will there be a group buy price ? And most important when can I have a set As soon as I hear I will post here. I've been holding off installing my retrofit headlights until the seals are available, I'm tired of seeing pictures of everyone else's

Quick update

August been busy! Added a well deserved holiday to this.... took off in the south with my wife. I (we) get to take annual leave once a year and it has to be at the end of Aug. Those are my only options sadly.... each and every year is the same :/ But still well received! Oh and I had to go back home (Montreal) for an express 5 days visit... of course to catch up with the new local taste of fresh poutine with pogo-sticks lol

Lots to catch up here in Shanghai and loads to read on the forum. Fortunately I've already managed to catch up with the rituals of being a wage slave (i.e. day job) and manufacturing slick headlight kits as a side business!

I have now in hands 50 (fifty) kits of each models (Turismo, Vivo & Luminoso). Those are fully manufactured and ready for anodizing and custom laser engraving. I'll be in contact with Pelican to arrange logistics for a few of those shortly but in a meantime, and until we see those advertised, if anyone of you guys is interested in a kit you can always PM me

Guys, make sure you check the beam height after installing the new projectors. I had to raise them quite a bit.

I followed the 25 ft (7.5 m) method described in the owner's manual, adjusting the numbers to accommodate that my garage was a few feet too small for the full 25 ft.

It's a 5mm hex to do the actual adjustment.

I've had these for a quite a while now and have absolutely loved them. Sadly, I'm selling the car and figured that I better get a picture on here before it's too late.

Cool looking Superboxstercar!

There you go, quick PS for you (souvenir!). Added water sprinklers and NPK fertilizers to the environment Also added a small 10mm spacer on your back wheels and touched up the road scarfs of that front bumper. Other than that its the same car

Love it, nice pcar... sure you'll miss it

Thx for the share mate

Send them to particlewave. Charles lives in the states but will do an awesome job. If I didn't want to do the job myself I would have sent them to him without hesitation.
