Welp...I took the plunge!. I sent in my headlamps to the retro fit source
 

I am going to have the evo-xr projectors installed with the zkw-r clear lens. I have already installed a pair of Osram Xenarc CBI's and was itching for a much more exotic color flicker. I will report back with pics in about 10 days!

Speak English man!

Looking forward to seeing the results!

funny.
i contacted a member in the 997 forum. he is going to do mine as well.
$500-ish for a new lens, and 5000k bulb. cant wait to get it done. our cars 996 and 997 have crappy headlights compared to whats out now.

What part of my English did you not understand?

Probably all the evo-xr zkw-r Xenarc CBI's stuff....hilarious

Have any pics of some that have been done on a 996? Sounds cool! :)

we talkin about this right ?

I'm doing the EVO-XR projector with the ZKW-R clear lens. It a full retro fit. Here is the link. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...products_id=92

Interested on results!!

After googling your first post, I learned a lot about the retrofit stuff. Surprising how many people are really into it! Anyways, cool stuff man - looking forward to seeing the results/impressions!

Would the CBIs be a plug and play without the lens/projector swap? OEM litronic bulb is a D1s, right?

I hate to sound ricerish, but I like the blue color of the old bulbs in my car lol I'd like some better output though. Any chance you can put up some pictures with the white balance dialed in to a specific kelvin after the swap?

Any update??

Pics and reviews coming up shortly. I'm still fine tuning and adjust them.

Very cool. I'd love to hear a full writeup on the 996 as far as options and reviews. Doesn't sound that expensive at all and very DIY'able. I love having better light b/c at night it makes all the difference.

Without having had the lights fully aligned yet, i can easily say that this setup is INSANE!!! The light is crystal clear white. The low beams are so bright, I would have to say they are at least double the out put of the factory projectors with the upgraded bulbs i had put in.

I will be posting pics in soon.

Who does the installation?

Matt at the retro fit source .com. He has a 997 Turbo. Great guy.

How much of a difference would you say there is from doing the whole housing swap vs just a lens swap?

Also, with the housing/fixture swap like you did, does everything bolt right up and plug in, or is there any custom modification/soldering/wiring etc needed? Any bulb out warning etc?

Thanks, look forward to a full writeup!

Has anyone seen or use these guys?

Thanks

I have heard of them, I believe they are a good firm to deal with from what i have read.

I need pictures so I can follow what's happening

I've got absolutely no idea what's being said here hilarious

pics?

update?

Pics also waiting..:confused::confused:

Is there a need to recaliber lights
 

So when they replace the lens and/or housing, do we need to recalibrate the headlights so that they are pointing at the right height?

If so, who and how is it done?

You can always adjust the height yourself as long as they are as close as factory. There is an adjustment for that.

Although they are complete and installed I am waiting on final tuning and adjustment before my review and pics. Right now I am out of the country so it will have to wait till I get back.

Anxious to see photos. I just purchased some product from them and was thinking of sending my headlights in for a conversion.

I can't wait either :D

Quit teasing us man!!!!

lol jk

any pics yet??

headlights
 

pics brother?

Yeah!! Let's see them :)

Anyone else done this mod?

I never ended up taking any pics ever, I will in the spring when i take the car out of storage.
