FS: HID projector headlights, clear with corners

These came off our 98 Boxster, but the housings are newer. These headlights are factory housings that have been retrofitted with the Luminoso GT projectors by forum member Particlewave.

and WE'RE BACK! (from totalled to replaced)

As posted in an earlier thread, I totaled my wife's 98 Arena Red 986 last month. Our insurance company treated us well enough, though we got all of about $650 for the $3100 worth of work we had...

UPDATE. We found a replacement car. I will be posting more about that shortly, but it's a bit of an upgrade, and I'll have some stuff from the old car posted up for sale soon.

Hey Nmbrsix, as I posted elsewhere on the forum, I recently cracked up my wife's Boxster bad enough that the insurance company totaled it out. Which means we are in the market. I PM'd you some...

If you get one of those inexpensive performance exhausts, they'll tend to drone quite a bit. We put in a Car Chemistry 2-disc insert that took care of 95% of it. Enough so that my wife enjoyed...

Thanks. Yes, it was a good looking car, and those DRL's were great. The car also had nice DRL's using CFL in the converted headlights that Particlewave did.

Totaled my 986

Or more accurately, my wife's. The day after having $3100 worth of work done, I hit a curb and spun the car. Due to rocker panel and rear quarter panel damage it was more costly to repair than it's...

Thanks for the suggestions, all. I'm going to start with the CC inserts first and see how those work out. That seems to be the easiest, least-invasive option for us. If that does not produce...

Thanks for that. Actually I don't want more sound than the stock. The real reason for changing was all the heat that the factory exhaust bakes the trunk with.

Unfortunately we're in an...

This sounds like exactly the ticket. Do they just pop into the tailpipe? Easy as that? That would be great!

Need exhaust advice

Hi guys. Trying to get a consensus on a good exhaust/muffler swap that will sound good (no drone) and dissipate heat (ie: not bake the trunk).

A couple years ago I put a no-name "full stainless...

Depending on condition, yeah that could be a good price. Condition is critical, though. I spent $300 on a "decent" set of clears (shipped), then clear corners for another $100. But what...

This precise thing happened to me 3 weeks ago. I wound up replacing 2 push-rods and 2 transmissions. Upgraded to the newer style that is not as plastic.

They fit. Of course you have to modify your headlight housings. It's not a drop-in replacement, is what I think they're getting at.
