haha cool looking roadster! Nice pics also

Martin you need 5mm front and 15mm rear spacers (its urgent!). Grab ten lug bolts with the rear spacer kit also. Damage shouldn't be more than $200 on the bundle.

That will give you a much more aggressive stance (supersports!). Wider handles better also

Got to say that boxster car looks pretty unused man, not many dings.... bet it has low km

I bought it almost 3 years ago with 38,000 km it now has 71,000 km

It has a few rock chips and the rims have a few too but the silver hides them well

First of all, let me apologize to Charles for my lack of skill at Photoshop, you and your car deserve better.

Fred....as I've contemplated upgrading the look of my headlights to your HID Retrofit, I was thinking about what it would look like to come all the way forward to the 918-style lights. Four LED DRLs on the outside bezel, with the Luminoso interior circle lights (parking lights) and the same projector.

Thoughts? Anyone care to do some better artwork on what it might look like?

Install assistance

Just got my new lights and could use some help on the install. Can't seem to locate the PDF and after opening the light I have no idea what I'm looking at, what to remove or what to hook up. Would someone point me in the right direction so I can finish this install?

Thanks,

Strachan

Haven't done it yet, but I think this is the pdf you are referring to.

Yes sir and thank you....

Two questions....do I feed the angel eyes wires through the parking light hole and do I put the high beam light back in or leave it out?

Lights have been installed! I'll post pics when it stops raining.
Last question, I get a loud click when I switch from high to low beam. Normal?

Thanks to all who helped and to Fred for an amazing product.

Access to Fred's website no longer works. When is Pelican going to post the product?

A batch was shipped today, but there are more to come
Poor Fred got slammed with orders near the end, it seems.

I bet he did! I was one of them - wifey agreed to let me pre-spend my birthday gift to snag these before the transition. Certainly no offense to Pelican Parts, used them for years (BMWs before this), but wanted the sure deal at the sweet price.

Ok, Another wave! I'm not surprised business picked up when folks saw the end of a good product.

lol you and I both wish that'd be true

Not the last batch unfortunately. I've passed 21 kits this last Sunday to my little post office lady :/ poor thing....

I got 46 kits remaining to do. No BS. Friggin busy..... getting back from work at 1830 everyday, dinner at 1900 and off to the garage at 2000 until 0100 + full weekends.

You guys a nasty bunch LOL. That's what happen when you set a deadline on something... you end up with over 60 orders in less than a month :/

Hopefully ALL kits should be completed by latest end of March (2015). Sending another batch this coming weekend
