wouldn't you just be installing the 993 factory light and installing the hid lamp here ?

I've been to Switzerland today fetching my fenders and having a look at Beni's workshop... He's really crazy! it's a hell of work to realize all this...

i will combine a 997 front air dam with the 968 unit soon.

i would love to see Benji attempt a 911/968 hybrid front end as well. i bet the result would be horny

No, the 993 factory light is a fog, rather than a bixenon, which means it focuses the light differently.

I also suspect that it's insanely expensive

I think there's a reason why there was a 993 turbo front end siiting next to the 968 in Beni's shop

Was wondering if the light assy. can be purchased without the wings/fenders....

Arash – as promised please find below a quick diagram I’ve done to explain fitment to a 944:



LOL – I can assure you that that’s not the case since we both work a good 16 hours a day (check out the 993 board to see what I’m up to which only covers 10% of my time)

Hi Chris – the complete kit including all fixing and projector H3 light units will be 255 Euros (read on will answer more for you mate )

Yep that’s the ticket right there and a lovely example of a 993 Turbo RS you’ve posted

2” diameter

So very true The only issue is regards the 968 rocker covers but I’ll cover that shortly if you were to take on a 968 front fender conversion.

No, the OEM 993 Turbo S light units omit about the same light power as a fire fly nor can they be upgraded. Our kit will provide 2/3rds of the light performance of the stock 993 headlights on their own The light units I’ve already sourced and are in the post to Beni.

Thanks and I’m really looking forwards to seeing some pics installed to your 968 as is Beni

The 993 lights featured in the ducts are simply side lights not fogs and can't be upgraded other than fitting other light units.

255 Euros for our complete kit when finished in the next 2 weeks

The 993 Turbo Bumper in our factory is/was awaiting shipping to me for our 993 project car pictured in my Avatar but is now for sale since I’ve sourced a factory Turbo S unit but that is a good idea which could see the light of day

majsc - Yes our lightweight 993 headlight units will be available for all 993 owners in the very near future once we have fulfilled all current orders.

Best regards,
Mark & Beni

Why using a 944 if 968's aren't that rare? But perhaps this is only my opinion as I hate bodyworks...

JDS968

See, my plan is to use a complete bixenon lighting system (dedicated bixenon projectors with their own optics, ballasts, and wiring) mounted where the 968's projector fogs go.

I was going to hack up a second set of stock fog/highbeam units I had by removing the fog projectors, but the new lights would still be shining through the fluted glass, which I don't like.

If I could mount the projectors into these pieces you are making, I could simply add my own clear glass or Lexan aero covers and get better light output (and probably easier mounting). Plus, of course, this gives me a better option for routing my front brake air ducting. The only question is, how difficult would it be to enlarge the opening to 2.5"? Can we see some shots of the back of this piece?

And how much would it be to just buy these inserts without the light kits to go with them?

Thank you!

Mate - rationally and logically speaking you are 100% correct but the reality is that some of us fellow RL 944 owners have so much $$$$$$$$ already invested in their 944’s which makes purchasing a 968 and swapping everything over simply out of the financial question plus some simply like the challenge of complete uniqueness

Yes I see your logic and that’s exactly what we have developed to answer you QU’s

Firstly below is a pics (sort of) of the back of the units during development (I’ll post you some better ones tomorrow) - please remember that this pic is far from the finished item again which I'll post tomorrow once I've received from our factory over in Switzerland:


The light units we are using are 55 watt H3 projectors with an incredible light output for their 2” lens size made by a partner company called SUNWAY:



If you just want the FRP light unit moulds then we can do you a set for 140 Euros plus 30 Euros shipping to the US.

P.S. You can fit a HID kit directly to the light units I've chosen we develop this kit with

Our 968 Brake Ducts lights stock:

^The above is with the spots only i.e. no headlights switched on

Cheers,

Mark - Thanks, I'm definitely eager to see more shots of the back, I want to see what I'd be working with in terms of mounting my bixenon projectors, and whether it's even feasible to enlarge the holes to 2.5".

Light output looks pretty good in your photos, but I'm looking to use these as my primary headlights, independently from the fender lights, with full low-beam and high-beam functionality.

EEZATOY

Great stuff - like the 993 light conversion do you have any straight on shots of them?

Also did I read you were working rockers? Maybe a nice one piece unit? I have been thinking about Strosek's but if you guys had plans for something.....

thx Sam

Please PM me a link to the light units you have and I'll be able to let you know if they will work without too much modifications

Hi Sam, I do have pictures directly from the front but only unpainted which look a mess. we will take some new pics very soon and I'll be sure to post them up for you. Yes we will develop new rockers but this will not be until later on in the year

PM sent.

Any thoughts on making Tech Art front splitter that is no longer available?
