Porsche Headlight Retrofit [from CAD, prototyping to finish)

[emeraldcity]

Hi all, anyone know if there is a new batch coming through or is gunmetal the choice from here out? I like the idea of red on my black S. Has anyone with a black boxster put the red projectors on yet that could share a pic?

It'd sure be nice if the GT Projectors would show up in a search for GT projector on Pelicanparts.com...or if they showed up in the headlight conversion category. I've only found the gunmetal Vivos and they show in stock. I want to get a set of Turismos in gunmetal.

I Have the red on my black 02S and they look fantastic! For some reason I can no longer post pictures from my phone to this forum, not sure what that's all about, but pm me an email or phone and I will send or text you some shots. I also blacked out my tail lights and the results are stunning.

The forum changed something, I can't post pics from my iPad anymore as well, frustrating.

Here's an in-process pic of my headlights. The lens is off, but you can see the new projector lens and shroud. The diameter of the shroud is so big, and the reflector bowl is not large enough diameter to accommodate the large diameter of the shroud.

Because of this, I had to cut/modify the reflector bowl, millimeter at a time. I got it in there, but because I hacked up the reflector bowl I ended up painting it black. I was going to leave it unpainted originally.

This is as far as I got last Sunday. More excitement this weekend.

Wow. Those look amazing! Thanks for the replies and sharing pics.

Do you mind getting a measurement of the bowl diameter?

What's the outside diameter of your projector shrouds?

For clarification, here's what I'm thinking of dropping in:

They're 7" in diameter, and you can buy mounting rings, too.

They come in chrome too:


I'll have to do some dremeling, but the backs don't seem that deep, and since they're LED, they don't have to thread through like the HID projectors, so I think they may fit if the bowl is close to 7".

They also come in 5.75".

How is the bowl attached to the housing?

Hope this helps
