same boat here would love to be able to pick some up! Registered for that reason in fact! Any new info would be great!!

[Porsche-Eh]

WOW, 78 pages! Can someone just tell me the ending? Re-post the picts? Are you taking orders and if so, how much?

Cheers!

They look awesome. I would love to get a set of these projectors fitted to a brand new set of headlights. Hoping they will be produced again in the near future.

Bump. I would love to get a set of these too. Please someone tell me some good news about them coming back!

You can do this project without Fred’s kit. Just buy the Morimoto mini H1 projectors the kit is based on. You’ll have to use a stock shroud rather than Fred’s cool machined version. The length of the threaded shaft would have to be checked as Fred’s kit had a custom extension. I think the shafts on the new H1’s are longer than what Fred could get. Fred might not have an issue with making the instructions for his kit available to those that might want to try this. For reference.

Thanks for the info. I did retrofit headlight on my motorcycle before, but had all accessories and instructions. With boxsters, given the fact that headlights just suck with wiring and lense, it seems like its a must to put projectors instead. If anyone done that before and there is some type of instructions please share. Mini H1 projectors look nice, i'll just have to figure out whether to paint other parts, whether to put halo light, and some wiring details.

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.

Hi Fred if another batch of these kits will become available I would love to join the waiting list please. Many thanks

Fred hasn’t posted anything since November 2017, so there’s been no updates on the new edition of the headlights or his infotainment system. In 2016 he had a horrific motorcycle racing accident and was literally and figuratively offline for a few months, but recovered. Also, since he’s in China, Internet access to the outside world can be spotty. I sure hope he is ok!

This thread deserves a bump

[Terryg]

I am interested if still available, I am in Bolton UK are they still for sale if so how much?

[JustinS]

I have a set of Halogen units that would be a good core set for a retrofit. PM me if you're interested.

But the last post before your ::bump:: was only a few weeks ago, with someone trying to sell a set. They may be specifically responding to that post.

Jus' sayin' ....... ;-)

You likely need to clean or replace your headlight switch.
