When he starts the car with accessories turned ON he gets these lights, if he turns accessories OFF and start the car, all is fine.

Luckily for him it was only a bad battery but none the less, his thread is about 7 pages long lol

Luck mate

Update

Hey all - Aug 1st. As mentioned in a previous post, those shinny lights are long gone

Some good news: Pelican Parts have kindly agreed to carry the "Performance Bi-Xenon Optics" projector kits in their online catalogue. So they will still be available for both the Boxster 986's and the 911's in the Autumn! It should make it easier for some of you guys to simply order them from Pelican. You'll spend less on shipping and get them five times faster than if you would order them from me. Huge thanks goes to Pelican for that!!!

I'll pass over the links as soon as I see them appearing in their catalogue for sure.

August will be a busy month here, but will sure keep updates coming as usual. In a meantime, here goes the last 3 kits I've made for some friends









^ this was by far the hardest kit to see leaving, the red one, Luminoso, white angel eyes (arrrggg). That is exactly what I am dying in putting into my car

I was waiting for everyone's kits to be finalized so I can crack on a kit for myself Bruce, and that of course never happened. From the look of it, I'm looking at retrofitting my own car's headlights in Sept.

Promise an epic update, stay tuned

Sounds good, sometimes you just have to take some time for yourself

Hi Fred,
Great news on picking up Pelican Parts as an outlet for your projectors! They are going to be a great success for you.
Are those Gun Metal Grey Vivo projectors on their way to a domicile in Pennsylvania? Can't wait

You need to take the time and build that red set for yourself and get them installed soon.

Thanks again

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,

Hi Nine8Six

Isn't it still available to buy a set from you ? I'm from Hongkong and travelling to Shanghai very often. I can handcarry from you in Shanghai. haha

Cheers!

Hopefully the team at Pelican will settle for a few sets and have them in stock ready to shoot for you guys in the states and Canada soon. Can't really tell when however. Samples we're sent, tax details sent etc... the ball is in their camp

I think the problem is... they are not sure what color(s) or model(s) to chose! e.g. two kits of each color in each model takes a bit of space (inventory-wise)

Can't really push them as this will only look like I'm begging or something lol embarrassing, so I'll just wait until they decide what they want to do for you chaps down there

In a meantime, let me know if I can be from any help
