Frank, they are precision machined (CNC), anodized (typeII), and custom laser engraved with personalized scripts. Made with passion! They are powered by the industry famous MiniH1 optics and can accommodate any standard 35w HID/xenon systems. The model you see on the picture is the Luminoso Series..... designed to provide that true Supercar looking front-end. If you ask me, those are a "must-have" for the modified 986/996 Porsche car (believe me).

I've seen those Luminoso installed in a 996 wide-body only very recently. Dark blue car but looks black in the evening. The guy city-drives his 996 with only the fog lights and the angel eyes turned on. I almost got an heart attack when I first saw that. Simply stunning, mean looking, quality lighting and all. I am personally waiting to get some free time so I can slam in a set (red) in my own 986 car here (can't wait in all honesty lol).

Price-wise, I do them myself (CAD/CAM both in-house) so I can offer them at a very good price. E.g. the CNC prod time is waved off from the final price - especially for our Porsche friends here I own a few production EMCO VMCs and only recently invested into a dedicated (small) MAZAK lathe just so I can pull those off for the car communities. I also own one of the very first EMCO production mill (MMV) with the tilting head as the 4th axis. Most of the roughing/boring and 4th axis operations are carried out by that EMCO's. Your neighbor - made in Austria!

The complete kit is $355 shipped. The ordering is simple: you select the colors you want for the bezel, shroud and angel eyes, and send me a PM along with your PayPal addy. I then send you back a PayPal invoice listing all of the features you want. All you need to do is press that Pay Now button and bang, you get your fully custom kit in 2 to 3 week in front of your door.

The retrofit involves:
  1. Heating and prying open your headlight with a flat bar (Contrary to some belief, the lens is made of (impressively) high quality polycarbonate. Meaning it is flexible. Also meaning, you can't break it even if you try hard)
  2. The H7 low beam socket needs to be enlarged from 21mm up to 23mm.
  3. Tapping wires into the existing headlight circuit (bi-xenon's solenoid to high beam, angel eyes to parking light)
  4. Sealing back the lens using RTV silicon, Leveling the projection using the @25' method and using the Porsche stock adjusting hex tool, and Off you go mate

That's it really - no other modifications is required to the headlight. Any question, feel free to ask myself or Charles (member Particlewave)

I've requested permission from my mate here to publish his car pictures. I'll update as soon as I have the go ahead on that. In a meantime, here goes a slightly larger resolution:

Awesome. Captures that "just got back" from a great drive feeling. The kind where you still aren't convinced a cop won't pull into your driveway and give you a ticket until about 10 minutes later.

Happy Anniversary to my darling lady in red. For the past 15 years, she has been by my side. We've traveled so far from one coast to the other. We've had a few tickets along our travels. We got a ticket on our very first weekend together on our way to Palm Springs; We had another on our way home from Las Vegas doing 120 mph. For sure I thought I was a goner, but the Officer gave us a ticket for 90 mph. I've abused her over the years, but she has remained reliable. She has maintained her beauty and curves and I still enjoy gripping her tightly while I redline her! I am slowly restoring this lady in red and I look forward to our many more travels in the future. Thank you for our joy rides together... all 177K miles. Lol!

Hey Sneaky, I love the fact that you have 177K miles. Inspires me to by preowned with over 100K miles. What type of major work done in that time?

Honestly, no major repairs as of yet but I am in the process of replacing the soft top and seats.
