The project is a headlight retrofit, so I used the housings of my original headlights. What you get from Pelican Parts are new HID GT3 projectors. You need to remove your headlights from your car, if you want to use your current headlights which you may not want to because they still have the amber lenses, and open them up to remove the halogen bulbs. Once the halogen bulbs are out, and you removed the burnt lenses, you insert the projectors and paint the interior parts if you want to, and reassemble. It is a lengthy project, but once complete it makes a big difference and updates the look of the front end.

The Daytime Running Lights that I installed are not custom to the Boxster. They install in the grill on your bumper. Installation was a snap if you are able to splice a couple of wires. Instructions were very clear.

I would like to do mine to end up like the ones shown below. i will hunt around for that shroud. Looks very nice. I would like to also change that orange color to all clear. so i will hunt around for that too. My understanding is that Pelican is out of these parts.

Thanks alot for your help. I think i can take on the challenge. Just alot of reading to do to get it right from the get go. Once the drilling begins on the OEM headlights there is no going back.

Thanks again,
