Not many, not enough, too little. I am getting closer to call it a FAIL in my mission to exterminate the old, ineffective, hot and massive current demanding bulbs (aka T. Edison halogen).

Maybe we don't sell those kits expansive enough?! The old 1994 era optics Litroblitz headlights sells better still today at $2,000 a pair

A reputable and USA based marketing guru once advise me to raise the price from that silly $300 up to $1500. The more expansive it is = the better (typical consumers said lol). He was so correct, I didn't listen

I think most people are too afraid to open up their headlights

I hope it's not going to turn into the famous artist thing, where it's only appreciated once it's gone. That would be a massive shame. After 8 years of ownership, and many mods, your headlights are at the top of my list for bang for the buck. You should be proud. Keep your head up, and let's forge ahead to exterminate the halogens!!

I think it has more to do with being LAZY. I struggle more with opening my morning peanut butter jar than opening a old & dry Porsche headlight. You'll see....

Bang for the buck that is for sure! I am not giving up too soon no worries - keep reading

GTProjectors' future is to compete with the common retrofit "plastic" bezel kits you find everywhere on eBay and those of reputable retrofitters here and there. I am not going to say anything bad about other's products (I never do) however, I'll say this: For about the same price of a plastic retrofit kit, GTProjectors provides you with stylish precision machined parts; they are robust, durable, anodized and most - personalized with laser scripts. I.e. a game changer. Adding to this, BI-XENON and I am not too shy to say publically that they are bundled with the very best universal OPTIC available today. The Ultimate ver. pattern/trademarked by AES co.

In a few words, the GTProjectors are The Best-in-The-World at the moment (hmmm where did I heard that before lol)

It's just a matter of time before ppl finds them and understand what they really are. It could go faster but unfortunately I do not have the do$h and the know-how it takes to carry out marketing campaigns and all that tralala involved (not exactly cheap). Can't even manage a silly FB page properly lollll

At this stage, I think it would be fair to everyone for me to announce that (finally) starting from 1st March 2015, PELICAN PARTS will have exclusivity and will be officially selling the GTP kits (surprise again, sorry). I was about to release this anytime soon anyway. Now these fine chaps at Pelican has the "know-how" and resources to bring this product to its next level (I quit lol). On my part, I'll be focusing on what I do best only which is making them and bringing innovation to the product line (mainly additional designs). Stay Tuned for the official release coming from Pelican.

Norm - you've asked how many I've sold. The answer is many (I've stop counting in mid-2014). The TURISMO has been the top seller by large numbers for 986s, 996s, GT2s & 3s. They've been well received and appreciated from everywhere (USA, CA, France, Spain, Japan, China, Thailand, man... even as far as Dubai and Qatar). They are also being installed on other sport cars (Lotus Elise, VW GTI, BMW) and on 3 supercars (2 Lambo & 1 Ferrari), forgot what other cars but there are some....

And only recently on Corvettes!

We have Charles! Fred, maybe your gtprojectors website needs to make it patently obvious to those on the fence that there's an installer out there that can do the job for those that don't want to do it themselves!

I sure hope Pelican keeps them at the same price. I wish I had paid attention to this thread sooner and bought a pair before you stopped.
Can we still go to your website to order them?

You can no longer order them through the website. It directs you to go to Pelican. No way they can keep the ridiculously low price.

I'll be honest, I have no idea how much Pelican Parts are going to retail those kits for. And I can't imagine them to be $1,500 lollll so I wouldn't worry mate. Whatever they think they worth, that is going to be the (their) price. Nothing I can do about that

You all know about Pelican Parts' backstage; they have been helping the community and have done so since day1 (FREE DIY, books, exclusive offers, etc etc). Of course they are also running a business but you have to agree that their services/prices have been just & fair ever since and that for every fella pcar owners. That philosophy and pricing should remain for the projector kits also.

To be real.... they know you guys like those kits and that is the whole idea behind Pelican taking over control of this product (professionally). From what I understood, they are not making "me" a favor, they are doing this for you guys (their loyal customers).

Same as you all, I'll find out all about the details at the same time as you do. Can't wait in all honesty, very curious myself believe me.

Below is what listed on the GTP site. Please do not PM me - can't change what's done already

Stock Availability Notice: This kit will soon be available exclusively from Pelican Parts this coming Spring 2015. For enquiries and/or to preorder your kit, please get in touch with the sales team at Pelican Parts by telephone 1-888-280-7799 or by using their Message Center
