There are far too many pictures to repost. I have hundreds just from the builds I've done.
Unfortunately, these haven't been available for some time.

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.

Involved parties are in California all of Sept 2017 talking to DOT and to register all of this WIP, among the few other GT parts/designs we have here. Not all that cheap but considering the love that needs to go into making sure our Porsche cars never goes blackout, they see it as priceless! I'll should be able to tell you more about all of this in Oct/Nov.
Yay! Someone is thinking of European regulations! Finally.

Fred, any update on this new exciting product?

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

PaulE 05-31-2018 05:54 PM
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!

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.

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.

eicheldp 03-20-2019 04:41 PM
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
