Very interesting.
Still, that first pic has me flinching at the notion, "aircraft landing lights".
(No diffuser elements/ribs on the inside of the glass?)

I enquired about that a while back...$2000 is a lot of money for a set of headlights.

My 964 came with a set of "bright white" bulbs that were about $75. They really were better than the stock ones and the previous owner put them in himself in about 30 minutes. I'm not a big lover of Xenons.

You're really going to buy that stuff at that price?? That is a major rip off...
No way in hell those lights are DOT approved...

Fair enough, but neither are aftermarket add-on HIDs, and I'm sure these do a much better job of focusing the light than do the stock reflectors...(although $2k worth? IDK, but I guess if I had the money I'd try em).

You might have better luck calling them? I called them once about two years ago about their wheels, and after spending about 5 minutes trying to get the guy who answered the phone to realize what language I was speaking (serious, if I had recorded it it could have been youtube comedy gold!) they put on a guy who spoke pretty good engrish and was more than happy to help.

EDIT: You could also just try using firefox on a PC (sorry, cheap shot, but I had to get the jab in...)
