Paul, sent you a PM with the contact of a guy who is seems pretty switched on. Based in Melbourne

espanolie

i'm impressed on the fit and finish - appears good quality. are these available for 993?

Nine8Six

Apologies for the slow response Espanolie, and thanks for the note

The kit's mounting adapter was designed to facilitate the installation into the 996s style headlights. However I'm sure there are ways to adapt that same kit onto the 993 with little modifications to the headlight.

I am attaching the dimensions of the Vivo series below (without the 996 specific adpter kit). Step 1 would be to remove one of your 993 headlight and see if you have enough clearance for the projector. If so then I am happy to work with you and design an adapter kit specific for the 993 anytime.

For info the Luminoso and Turismo series shares very similar dimensions.

Let me know if I can be from any help

Not entirely sure if you can see the full page/dimensions.... auto-resize doesn't seem to work on my PC here

Just in case here goes a better view

Hi, I restore Porsche cars and very interested in one of your kit for our 996. I found www.gtprojectors.com is this the site I need to buy them from?

Also I read somewhere that you can customize your projector, do you have more details on that?

Nine8Six

Hey TK

Thanks! Items that you can quickly customize are:

1. Shroud color (e.g. depending whether you paint the interior of headlight black then this needs to match. If left OEM chrome then clear anodized (silver) is the way to go.)
2. Bezel anodized color.
3. Angel eyes -or- not (I can do those without angel eyes... equally stunning)
4. Angel eyes LED color (although white being the most popular, amber is earning second place on that list recently)
5. Xenon temp/color (4,300k being the ones that cuts rain and snow best, 6,000k being the fanciest one imo)

Above are the standard 'online' custom ready-to-buy options. Of course there are other custom services that I offer but those are evaluated and quoted onto a case-by-case basis mate (offline, PM me). I can design adapters for any types of headlights and/or modify the existing designs to match buyer's taste. However I do charge extra for these services :/

Example below:

Fellow 996 owner based in Bangkok, Steve, wanted "DRL style" angel eyes (e.g. max output, super bright) and wanted the bezel to match a theme that he hand-draw, scanned and sent me in a JPG format. Below came out for him in the Vivo series style optic. I charged him +100$ for the extra work.... unfortunately CNC machines work coordinates changes, needs additional CAM programming (gcode) and of course 3d model also need to be reworked a tad. Not exactly the cheapest kit but well justified and fair (I think!).



Let me know if you have any questions or specific requirements, I'm happy to work those out with you

ps; yea that site addy is correct. Although still in construction you can certainly give it a go anytime (PayPal ready)

Nine8Six

Below was the AE pattern we came out with for Steve. Although very nice those are 'extremely bright'. Not my thing but some may like it I personally prefer the dotted pattern... unique, softer, doesn't flood the headlight with LED light etc... all depending on taste really

So back to your question: yes, fully customizable!

ps. Steve is cool with me posting this no worries. Visuals are already online on other forums both here in SH and BK. We've beaten up this AE thing a lot already lol



Amber color angel eyes (now this looks sort of okay lol):

Meares

any pics on a Mk.2 996?

Nine8Six

I don't atm but should have those coming out this coming winter when I'm done prototyping on the mk2 style headlight. Litronic first however (few waiting for those already). I'll try doing both at the same time. In fact you aren't the first to ask so I'll gear up on that promise

theporscheguy

Great upgrade.

+1 ... I'm the first to admit that I don't know a hell of a lot about cutoff patterns or lumen output, but I see a lot better at night with the nine8six/Particlewave conversion than I ever did with the stock halogens. Seems like there's a small-but-noticeable difference in the low beams and a big-and-really-noticeable improvement in the high beams. Nice look, also.

Every time that I get my headlights how I think I want them, you go and post something that I must have!

Sent you an email Charles. Not sure if you have been checking lately....

Pic stolen from another thread... let's just hope the owner (Tommy) doesn't find out I try hard to not use others' car pictures but this one, I'm sorry but I just couldn't resist. Bad bad bad me!

Happy autumn everyone!

[QUOTE=Nine8Six;11698726]Hey TK

Thanks for your reply. I gotta pull the trigger on the Luminoso in gun metal I think One more question do you include installation instructions with the kit?
