Any Interest?

I thought I would post this here first. I am considering selling my pair of Fred's Bi-Xenon projectors. They are gun metal grey Vivo model with white Angel Eyes. The units were assembled and polished by Particlewave/Charles. They are in pristine condition as the 986 is always garaged.


I am looking to only recoup my investment. If interested - PM me.

Thanks

Would you be generous enough to share with us what was the original price? Thank you.

The kit was $350 and my install was $250, so $600 plus the cost of the headlights...easily over $1000.

That said, they're priceless now, since they're not being made anymore.

Sorry to say that my projectors are no longer for sale due to difficulties with replacement headlights.

Thank you to all who expressed an interest.

Hi everyone. I thought I'd post up here before the facebook forums and other sites. I have an unused pair of these that I'm selling if anyone is interested.

I bought them from Fred back in 2015, but for one reason or another never got around to installing them. I've now sold the car and having a clear out.

They are Luminoso in anodised blue (which looks stunning), and have all the fitting gear exactly as received from Fred - never been unwrapped or handled other than for these pics.

Have a look at posts #951 to 953 in this thread for Fred's comments on the colour

Set of new Luminoso for sale

Bumping my own post here as I missed the replies later last year, the current lockdown giving me chance to catch up on lots of things.

If anyone is interested in these drop me a line or DM.

All the best,

Adam

Hi Fred, Charles, I hope you're both good. I haven't done anything with my lights for a while. AE's are still disconnected after the talk of the issues, do I get the impression even putting a relay in is now not advisable? Am I better off using that wiring for a standard side/parking light bulb through the old main beam? I currently have a set of amber lights I put in the car for tests (UK) but I'd love to get the HID's capable of going through a test successfully, I would still like the facility to flash a main beam too, am I asking a lot? 😁
