1. From the design I can see that there is no provision for headlamp washers which my car has. If no provision exists, I assume the washer outlet has to be removed and the system disabled to install these lights?

2. Does the manufacturer hope to come out with an Litronic or HID compatible version of the headlamp anytime soon? Or is this it for their entire production run?

3. Do the LED lights turn on as soon as the ignition is turned on (without turning any part of the headlights on like you would do at night?

4. Please verify that the projector lend focal point designed for halogen bulbs works well enough with the xenon bulb to provide adequately controlled low beam.

5. Does this headlamp unit take all the OEM light bulbs for parking, high beam and fog lights?

Thanks.

1. headlight washers would have to be disabled , removed. there is no space

2. its taken them them 3 years to get this far, they said they were trying to get an HID version. but not sure (wouldnt count on it being anytime soon)

3.just like factory nothing does anything unless you turn the switch

4. they are projectors meaning they have a sharp cut off for the lowbeam , no glare and look like factory xenon cars , when HID installed , ill try to post a pic on the garage to show cut off.

5. the only bulb that you can use from your factory lamp are your foglights. the high beam and low beam use a separate H1 bulb , but i am going to use a LED bulb for my fog ( i never use them anyway)




i got an email last night and he will let me know soon if i can be a supplier , to be honest they are expensive , and there isnt much room for me to buy them wholesale , pay for shipping , install HID, sell them on the forum , I will try tho, if not i will see if i can get some sort of deal , the problem is , they do not just sell 1 set at a time , this was a sample set

Thanks. I am happy to pay all your costs of (regular freight + HID conversion parts plus any other direct costs plus a profit for getting me the lights!

Also, I assume we have to buy our own bulbs. Please share details of the exact bulbs including the LED bulb you are using for your fog lights. Thanks.

Made in China? They look like ebay stuff from far away. Wouldnt want that on a Porsche, Honda definitely! Cheap stuff goes together with each other.

Still, wouldnt do that to a Porsche! Not to mention that cheap plastic will start to yellow within a matter of months. Those lamps are so fragile, not to mention the design sucks. I see all these LEDs on rice cars in NYC, they simply dont belong there. Aesthetically, neither these LED belong on a Porsche. I would however retrofit projectors onto OEM housing! My brother has had great success doing such conversion onto b16 Sentras SE-R.

I'd love to see them with a little less bling, but it's nice to know that there is a less expensive option to OEM should you need to replace them.

Still working on getting a good price for everyone , I found out u can disconnect the fuses for the DRLs, and the turn signals still function if someone didn't want all the flashy lights and just wanted the headlights, and the signals to function
