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!

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 >>>> |

lol If you think the pictures are cool, you are in for a serious blast when you'll see those in person I promise http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/021389465426.jpg |
I must have missed actually clicking the link in one of the e-mail notifications of replies, and therefore stopped receiving updates.

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. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2...Projectors.jpg Hint: I'll likely be using one of these below: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-w...ez430-2013.jpg |

Or do something more complicated like having the LEDs in the angle eyes chasing each other? |

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 :p. |
Bump...can't let this thread get to low on the page ;)
Where you been buddy? You have PM... |
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. |
These are absolutely stunning...
Great looking too, wonder what these would look like on a zenith blue? :) |

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 |
Quote:
Can't wait to see this. You should have your projectors in hands in a few days so prep the tools and camera! |
Quote:
Got those with EURO cutoff plates if one day you think of retrofitting as well |

What's this thing for and is it removed as part of the projector retrofit?

Are most of you sanding and painting the reflector bowl? Black?
For those of you that have done that, did you keep the high beam bulb operational? If so, are you getting any noticeable light output from it? Especially, are they functional when flashing with low beams (xenons) off? |

RE paint; can't see clearly from the pic but those are painted in the same blue code as the car. Absolutely brilliant idea I say. never thought of that. Hope to see a summer shot with a bit of sun light in there... got to look good http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1391019081.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1391019004.jpg |

Mounting it in this way allows for superior cooling (just like the Litronics) and doesn't interfere with normal headlight installation. |

RE ballasts; the correct/intelligent way to mount them is as per Particleware's suggestion. I personally didn't bother and simply squeezed them "inside" the back of the headlight enclosure. The manufacturer swear by them and assured me that they are rated over 120 degree Celsius (built for the task!). After tests I've never really managed to get them to much higher than 60degree (C) (enclosed) so... up they went inside my headlight here! |

Got the 25w LED tower with mini-built-in projectors as below for my high beam. Got the 25w for heat management. Although underpowered they are still stupid bright and output brilliantly ;) I'm just assuming that the high power 50W LED tower are ridiculously HOT so careful there. I didn't replace the fog with those but perhaps should have done so. You'd think that they are cheap here in Shanghai but they are not so I passed the fog lights idea for now. http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/5/6...85454923_o.jpg Here a link of the same from a USA based seller. Surely they are also available locally in BC, CA. |

Thanks Fred! I will post pictures when done. I think that I will take a risk by first testing the ballast inside of the housing. I will have to figure out a way to correctly attach them to the removable backplate of the units. |
Sorry, I can't find where to query/buy these from.

WOW, it is SO easy to take out the headlights?!

Please check PM =)
Is there any fitment issue for the factory xenon headlights? |
Nine8Six, my projectors have arrived and they are gorgeous, I couldn't be more happy with the color and finish....awesome!!!
Now I'll have to get started prototyping the "Dragon Eyes" into the projectors and do some pre-install testing to get the effect I'm looking for. I'll document and make video as I get things working. Thanks again Fred for making an awesome product. |

Below is a picture of your kit before it left. Souvenir ;) Looking forward your pics and further development mate Thanks again Ray http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/011391457205.jpg |
Below are similar to Ray's above but with black skirts. For those who wish to paint the interior of their headlight black.
Finish is polished & anodized gunmetal. The bezel's laser script is custom "as per customer's requirement". This is now the official "Standard" kit i.e. replacing the flash silver painted bezel. Shoot me a PM if you are interested in retrofitting your Porsche Boxster (or 996) headlight from halogen to high performance bi-xenon projectors. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/021391457526.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/031391457537.jpg |
