Porsche Headlight Retrofit [from CAD, prototyping to finish)

[jaykay]

Wil non lit (retrofited) lights plug into to a factory lit car without problems; plug and play? Can one set it up so that you can switch back to stock (factory lit) at will

Yes, they are plug and play. I still have my stock lights if I ever wanted to go back to stock.

Anybody know were i can get these LED headlight strips.

Looked all over for them.

Would i be able to fit those LED strip lights in my headlight that has two seperate amber lenses.

It seem that the headlight that uses this led strip does not have the headlight divided with two bottom
lenses. it's all like one piece. not sure

Taste aside, you must not have been looking very hard. Those headlights all over eBay (from $2000-3000 US) and the general consensus is that they're garbage and your best bet is to avoid them.

Thanks for heads up thatguychad but i wanting
to retrofit my original old headlights to look like the ones shown there
not replace them.

Just wondering if the LED can and headlight cover can be purchase seperately
to make that kind of continuous look of one piece cover

if not, would i be able to put LED with that V-shape in my old headlights
when i do my retrofit, shrouds, ballast, etc

Carlitos, I own those aftermarket headlights with the LEDs, they look amazing but they have a lot of fitment issues and the first generations had LEDs that died rather quickly, the UV protection peeled too. As much as I like the look, I don't think they're worth $1000.
(PS: I PM'd you)

[c_maldonado2001]

Wow, amazing batshapedheart. So happy for this forum.

One can be spending big bucks without knowing to find out later the downside.

i've been reading the Porsche 986 & 996 Headlights Bi-xenon HID conversion over and over. and i think i got the general idea of what needs to be done.

im just overwhelmed of the choices that one has on how to be creative on the
headlight. My Boxster is parked in garage so i can spend any time needed to get it done with no rush.

Im going to try to make out of my headlights the closest i can get to look like yours without spending an arm and a leg.

Yes, they would be plug-and-play. Litronics have the normal headlight connector and a separate connector for the Lit level controller. You would just install the standard retrofitted headlights and leave the second Lit controller connector tied back. If you wanted to revert to Litronics, just reinstall them and plug the level controller connector back into the Litronic headlights.

Edit: Bruce beat me to it.

Thanks guys, I had assumed that I would end with codes / CEL problems. Rather than waiting for a Litronics kit I may just pick some nice halogen lights for a retrofit.

I would image Fred's projectors would cover the adjustment range of my moving eyes anyway

Saw a nicely tricked yellow 986 parked while I was in Ningbo a week ago. Had hallos (shattering discovery). Left a hand written note under his driver-side wiper.... letting him/her know that I'd do bi-xenon projectors install and + lens polish for FREE (+coffee). Making ref to his primitive lighting system of course!

Exterminate the halogen indeed! Trying hard... trying hard

[blackandwhite]

Just did the weekly check through my spam mailbox and sitting in there was an email from GT projectors that my news lights are on their way!

Way to brighten up a dull Thursday!

Cheers Fred, I'm really looking forward to getting these
