Various new 968 products, Turbo RS type II wing, 993 headlight conversion
#61
We were sent a set of OEM 968 wings from a European customer’s 968 CS whom wanted our new conversion kit ASAP so that we could use to take new moulds from. For a reason unknown to myself the customer did not want his OEM fenders back and said we could do as we pleased with them:

The piece looks fantastic. Couple of questions for you:
- will the front of the car be less rigid with these new fenders? If so, was it noticeable to you?
- how well do the headlights now light up the road? Have you tested them with everything properly mounted to the car?
Thanks.

SM – No there will be/is no reduction in rigidity as the fenders are not structural
They light the road MUCH better than stock and stock 993 for that matter You can get a good indication of how bright they are on page 3 of this thread (also see my last note further below).
Who cares about how they light up the road? Upgrade headlights for looks, not for looking! LOL j/k.
Another quick project update ... we are currently working on an integrated 55watt Spot Light and Brake Duct kit to compliment this kit based on the 993 Turbo S brake ducts. Also following is a new front splitter again based on the 993 Turbo S with complimenting rockers/sideskirts ... I'll update in the very near future.
Best regards,
Mark and Beni

now this matter.... what combinations to run on the drls, and lows beams ? thinking like 8,000 k for the lights nearest to the ground, and 6,000 k for the low beams.... or maybe just staying 6,000/6,000 k. the bling foto at the end is interesting. and they'd put you in prison in massachusetts for running a combination like that.

6,000/6,000 k should be fine. just wondering if i can ramp it up to 8,000 K for the bumper/drl's.
i should ask what the 993 guys run.
https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...hd-lights.html
ok, ring one up for 5,000 k lamps....
btw, it appears the 993 oem lamps all came "Xenon/Litronic" ready. wondering what we'll need to do with Benji's lamps....
https://rennlist.com/forums/stuff-wa...headlamps.html
the good of oem xenon litronic: i'm thinking the "polyellipsoid (PES) reflector," as they call it, is a superior set up behind the lens...... the good of oem non-xenon: less $$$$... and i like the idea of the non-xenon lamp becuase i can choose a hotter, 6,000 K light.
