Hi Charles
Just come back to this site having finally finished my lights but it looks like I should have read it before sealing them up (doh). I always intended to refit the main beam for flashing but now I read the Angel Eyes might fail without a relay, have you an idea about using a relay for flash and the Angel Eyes, or two, or is it not really possible to have both options?

Yes, 2 relays. I use a standard automotive relay for the high beam flash and a smaller 12V relay for the AE's, but you can just use a standard relay for both.

Hi Fred, if you are ever doing more headlights I would be interested, I know you are busy now and I am looking forward to getting my centre caps but let me know when you can, include the price if the answer is yes.

@SmegHead - wow, nice front-end!!! Glad to see you finally got to it bud. really looks good (and so is your car/paint color btw)
2yrs; not bad... I've been wanting to install a set of Luminoso in mine since 4 yrs now. Go figure. Looks like my Boxster will forever live with the first prototype we've made together here on that thread. funny stuff

You got it! Unless there's something new that I haven't seen yet, haven't read through this thread in a while. Have you come out with anything new since last August?

Not much NEW, we actually got rid of things instead. Really looking forward an improved and reliable kit - which I've already CAD in Feb/March. Simplified, lighter (cheaper also!). But in all they are the exact same shape/models (visually).
Needs manufacturing which I plan on jumping onto in about two weeks.

On this note;
Few months ago I've posted some renders of a prototype for our Vivo Series. When I say 'our' I mean our forum's.
As you can see from the visual below it needs a perforated meshed part that I could send out for custom cutting. Process is chemical etching (aluminum) and anodized surface treatment (red?!). Not super expansive in terms of prototyping & production, but the 'task' is quite nasty. CAD, supplier contacts, samples, assembly forming die, fixtures, testing, etc. You get the picture.
Something that could be nice to look at for this summer. Therefore any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Does not need to be nice lolll
You say - I do - attitude
^ No plans for Titanium, AL only

Wow, I´m on the list! :dance: This is great news!
I´m not sure I understand what models and color options will be available, is there a list somewhere or is it still up for discussion?
I have a black car, I´m thinking black reflectors, the question would be what color on the projectors... The only other color on the car besides black is the red brake calipers.. Would it be possible to make the projector "Cailper-red" to match? I reckon that could stand out quite a lot, and maybe make up for the "lack of" angel Eyes.
Just thinking..

Hi Fred.
Is it possible to buy the Vivo Series shrouds only and changes them out in the projectors that I already have? Aluminium would be perfect

That's absolutely beautiful, love it.
And if J.Studios are reading this; the TM/bottom arch is printed way too big (i.e. its just a head lamp)
