Hey Jeff, got your PM.... no prob on the custom laser work. You don't need to upload visual, we can discuss this in private and exchange draft/visuals of what you want until you sign-off on the laser work.

Also, ignore the +$15 for the custom laser work request on that GTP site... that is another scam I'm running LOL. Most chaps just don't use the upload feature but use the type-in comment box to request their custom laser work Smart!

The ultimate bi-xenon headlight retrofit kit for Sport & Super cars


I would buy a sanding attachment for your drill ( like Fred supplies) permatex silicone sealant, and something to drill a 3/4 - 1" hole

[Fintro11]

You can buy plugs like described in the instructions, or just use the ones that come with the kit like I did

I have a line on a set of 2004 headlights without the corner units for $400 shipped. I would use those as a basis for doing this upgrade.

Is that a good price for the lights? I see the corner units cost $50-$70 each!

These are soooo sweeet! Dig the Vivo series myself. I'll have to get with PW one of these days to have him fix me up a set.

I'm thinking of having the inside painted Arctic Silver (the color of my car) and maybe use black Vivo lights. Wonder how that would look? Should blend the light housing into the car really well, just not real sure on the black Vivo?

When these go Pelican only, will we still be able to have custom laser work?

When using the GTP site and add to cart, selecting 1 is a pair of lights or just 1 light?

Below will be the standard laser script that pelican will offer (PBXO). If you ask me, it's killer enough mate (and a tad more legit lolll)

If you want custom laser work, they'll charge you $7,340 extra (tbc) and you'll have to wait something like +3 weeks for your kit. Like I previously said they are not telling me much atm... its their stuff they do what they want with it. We'll all find out at the same time I'm guessing.



That GTP site shows 2 projectors on the pic. As advertised the price is for one pair mate. I'm not a 'true' scammer no worries lolllll

Is the switch on March 1st still happening?

In this picture where it says Luminoso Series is where the custom text goes, correct?

Thank you for all your hard work and high quality products !

Very nice pictures, Martin!

[Nine8Six]

haha cool looking roadster! Nice pics also

Martin you need 5mm front and 15mm rear spacers (its urgent!). Grab ten lug bolts with the rear spacer kit also. Damage shouldn't be more than $200 on the bundle.

That will give you a much more aggressive stance (supersports!). Wider handles better also

Got to say that boxster car looks pretty unused man, not many dings.... bet it has low km

[Fintro11]

I bought it almost 3 years ago with 38,000 km it now has 71,000 km

It has a few rock chips and the rims have a few too but the silver hides them well

[tomonomics]

First of all, let me apologize to Charles for my lack of skill at Photoshop, you and your car deserve better.

Fred....as I've contemplated upgrading the look of my headlights to your HID Retrofit, I was thinking about what it would look like to come all the way forward to the 918-style lights. Four LED DRLs on the outside bezel, with the Luminoso interior circle lights (parking lights) and the same projector.

Thoughts? Anyone care to do some better artwork on what it might look like?

Just got my new lights and could use some help on the install. Can't seem to locate the PDF and after opening the light I have no idea what I'm looking at, what to remove or what to hook up. Would someone point me in the right direction so I can finish this install?

Thanks,

Strachan

Haven't done it yet, but I think this is the pdf you are referring to.

[strachan]

Yes sir and thank you....

Two questions....do I feed the angel eyes wires through the parking light hole and do I put the high beam light back in or leave it out?

[strachan]

Lights have been installed! I'll post pics when it stops raining.
Last question, I get a loud click when I switch from high to low beam. Normal?

Thanks to all who helped and to Fred for an amazing product.
