Sorry Crono...I wasn't ignoring you, just been thinking the project over. The only thing that has me worried is the quality/durability of the housing and outer lens on those units. I've never seen a set in person, so I'm not sure.

I'd like to try to find some info regarding the strength and melting point of the plastic...

Sent you a PM.
You're going to be stabbing in the dark. I'll try to get some info from my supplier, but I highly doubt I can get you much.

Crono - I've recently seen those aftermarket headlights that you have. Unfortunately they are not serviceable like the oem Porsche headlights. The lens are "glued" to the housing (permanent). Genuine Porsche headlights uses a silicon base seal which makes it extremely easy to open or service.

Your best bet is, if you are serious about upgrading to high performance projectors, is to find a set of (used) Porsche headlights and retrofit those instead.

If your aftermarket headlights are still in good condition you could sell those and that should be more than sufficient to cover the cost of your entire retrofit (that incl a set of used Porsche headlights!).

Just an idea for you mate
