http://www.customlightz.com/
http://hidtech.com/ click on "retros"

The prices they have listed are around $300-$400, however neither lists Boxsters, but you can email them for a quote.

Doubt any of it's DOT legal, but looks good anyhow.

Good luck,

Yep, that's what I would say too. Looks like the insides were painted black. All those sponsors must have paid for his mods. If they are indeed real.

Hey thanks alot for the replys you guys were right here is the reply I was sent from him

"Those headlights are self made. Using OEM headlight i tinted the edge and then chopped the headlight in half gutted everything out then installed a HID projector which i custom cut and then painted with glossy heat paint then inserted it in the headlight then solder and rewire the headlight then upgrade the fuse to a 25AMP"

seems pretty straight forward I assume the only tricky part will be in setting up the angle of the lights as I have never really messed around with headlights before. (that is if I opt to do it myself)

I think I will try this on an extra headlight I have laying around and if it turns out then ill do it to the one's one the car... after its back from the body shop that is (getting gt2 kit with TA skirts installed)


Jordan

on another note.. Gary what did the guy say about his turbo kit? much change from the SC?
