LED Headlight Caps (Protizmo)
 

Hi Guys,

Anybody have any they want to sell as the online store says out of stock.

Cheers
Scott

Sorry about the delay on getting a new batch out, Scott. We've had a lot going on with our family over the last few months. It's going to get a lot better over the next few weeks and I have every intention of making a new batch ASAP.

Cheers Ed. Hope everything is ok. Family comes first mate. I'll need two sets when you're ready.

Ed, please PM or email me when you are about to post them up, I'm in need to two pairs.

Thank you,

Dave

Ed, do you know the cost to ship two sets to Australian postcode 5093 and can I Paypal you the money now and you can send them when they're ready?

Cheers
Scott

I would love a set or two as well. I've subscribed to this thread, in case you post here when they are available. Thanks for making such a great product, and please don't feel any rush to get them made. Family is much more important than cars!

928 8" LED H4 sealing caps availble again
 

A few of you have PMs. ;)

Thanks for a great product Ed. All paid.
Hope you and your family are well.

Thank you. I've placed my order.

The answer wasn't readily apparent, so I have a question. What bulbs will definitely fit with this? Are there options, or just one?

There's only one LED H4 bulb design that I'm sure will work.

I just started making an updated list of appropriate ones I found on Amazon. They keep showing up under different brand names, and some old links on Amazon to ones that worked now have different designs, so you can't necessarily trust old links you find in older Rennlist 928 Forum threads.

I'll try to get a good up-to-date list assembled and provide it later today.

Anybody who has recently bought bulbs that work with the caps, feel free to chime in.


If you're in a hurry, here's one of the first ones that I came across. Not necessarily the best source/price, but it would work: .

If you reach out to roger, he has my design available for sale, which is meant to replace the stock H4 back cap.

I bought these and they will fit with Ed's caps. Just trying them on the car they are fantastic. The light is clear and bright and has a good range.

I'm two months late on this (!), but I was just looking for suitable sources again today, and came up with these:

• Amazon, $68.95:
  GENSSI Elite LED Headlight Bulbs Kit 6000K Super White Conversion H4 Low/High
  GENSSI Elite LED Headlight Bulbs Kit 6000K Super White Conversion H4 Low/High
  (fancy blue finish on some parts)
• Amazon, $69.99:
  BROVIEW S7 HB2 H4 LED Headlight Bulbs Conversion Kit - 50W 8000Lumen 6500K White - Brightest Lumileds Chip for Replace HID & Halogen- (2pcs/set)
  BROVIEW S7 HB2 H4 LED Headlight Bulbs Conversion Kit - 50W 8000Lumen 6500K White - Brightest Lumileds Chip for Replace HID & Halogen- (2pcs/set)
• eBay, $36.99: H4/9003 FANLESS G7 LED Headlight Conversion Kit 6500K Philip Lumileds Luxeon ZES (ships from China)
• eBay, $37.59, New CREE LED 96W 12000LM H4 9003 HB2 32 Chips Headlight Kit H/L Beam Bulbs US (says CREE, but shows photos of LUMILEDS-based bulb, and has a lot of other inconsistent information in the description and specs)
• eBay, $59.96, Authentic G7 Elite H4 9003 LED Headlight Conversion Kit 6000K White Light Bulbs

For future reference (as the above links will probably break within a few months), a good search string to use when searching on Amazon or eBay is "H4 LED G7" or "H4 LED S7". As you're examining the details, you'll likely see any or all of the following:

• "Philips" (big, multinational Dutch company, parent company of Lumileds)
• "Lumileds" (an LED company)
• "LUXEON" (a Lumileds brand: high-power LEDs)
• "Z ES" or "ZES" (a high-power LED in the Luxeon line of products)

If the photos look like this (and they actually ship you what's shown in the photos!), it's probably compatible with the sealing caps. The color of the heat sink and driver modules may vary, but the geometry of the unit is what's really important (the shape/length/diameter of the barrel that the heatsink screws onto, the number of LED emitters, the shape/size of the heat sink, etc.)

I ordered my bulbs before you put up this list and I had to modify the control driver a bit to make it work. In case someone else has this issue here is what I did.

These are the bulbs I used:
The lid on the control driver is only screwed down diagonally and with smaller screws than supplied in the sealing cap kit.

Small screw from control driver on left, larger screw from kit on right.

The back of the lid has indents to drill a new hole.

Then I drilled a new hole in the control driver itself and drilled out the existing hole that was too small and tapped both at M3 x 0.5.

That's all :)

Ed, you may want to make a note in the instructions about the foglamp relay having to be switched out for a "53" for all the lamps to work properly. Really nice kit by the way.

That's interesting... sorry you had to modify the driver module.

I remember looking at those bulbs and didn't list them, not because of the driver module (the back isn't even shown in any of the photos on Amazon), but because I was seeing subtle differences in the bulb design. The reflector for the low beams looks a little different (it appears to be curved rather than flat, which is fine, but still different), and I wasn't seeing a chamfer on the barrel where it transitions to the threaded section. That made me a little concerned that the O-ring on the cap might be dislodged too easily when the cap is pressed over the bulb barrel (and perhaps the bulb barrel might not be as long as the specific model I was recommending and designed for). There's also what appears to be a set screw on the barrel right around where the cap's O-ring might land, too. Did the cap fit over the bulb barrel OK, and the cap's O-ring seem to land in an acceptable location on the barrel?

Do you know what kinds of screws (especially thread pitch) that the FMS module used? 2.5 mm? Or maybe not even metric.

Thanks for the feedback!
