Porsche Headlight Retrofit [from CAD, prototyping to finish)

If not, it will be close enough. The idea of having a 30degree chamfer on the face is to simulate the "angel eye" effect. The light bouncing on the 30 degree edge make these quite unique looking - its just perfect and clean imo.

Sneak peek below (taken on a 25watts desk lamp). Sick under HID trust me. Just too lazy to plug in the HID kit again, I've just put it away two hour ago. You'll get the idea I'm sure.



I got a C-GT about 2 miles from my place and I always see this guy during the weekends or at the track. He drives me nuts and single-sided deaf each time he revs up next to me with his titanium straight pipes :/ Wait until he sees MY headlights lol

non mais putin this is amazing. If the result is really like on the picture then I want you to make a kit for me also. I know the mean and elegant look of the carrera gt it is exactly as on your picture. well done replicating this for the normal Porsche

also cant wait to see this happening. subscribed

Very much alike but not the same. The GT's has two angel eye effects on its shroud, mine will be limited to one. Not a huge fan of super bright front-end anyway.

Reusing the main source of light for the angel eye makes it what it is indeed! I certainly agree with your "elegant" point.

I don't like the led or halo eyes that is why i'm interested in your idea very much. by the way your concept pictures are on the french porsche forum now. haha sorry. a few of 996 guys want to talk with you. send you the link by pm

your last picture with the red boxster headlight style. look really good. I can confirm now that I want to buy the kit when it's ready. Keep me inform please
