My New CCFL Halo Headlights

I did not install them yet, but here are some photos of the headlights off the car. Some will hate it, others not so much.

I wanted to make the look as "factory" as possible and they will be used as my daytime running lights and then stay on when the headlights turn on.

I had to pay the shop extra for a mold to be made to produce the oval halo glass tube so as to fit the oval shape of the Porsche headlights as CCFL halos only come on round shapes and nothing is this big either.

It took six months but here is the finished product. Note that I also had the lights painted to match the car color. I think I am the first to do this on a 996TT. Like it or not, here it is.

WOW, that looks awesome! So the headlights are OEM?

If you don't mind, how much did this cost to do?

Thanks,
Alex

I would like it more if the big ovals are halves... like Uo oU. Then they will look better when the lights are on.

I think that will look nice. I would probably only do the main headlight on mine if I were to do this mod. Don't wanna copy you haha..
Thanks for sharing. Look forward for final install pictures.

Very cool! I wonder what it would look like if the main light inside had a little halo, and that was it..

Very slick looking. You should start a business. Everyone else on the board with a good idea has. Have peeps send in their originals on an exchange basis.

I guess I will be the first to say 'it's not my cup of tea'. The work is very clean though. I am sure you would find plenty of people who would love to add those to their cars. Good effort.

Well executed, I think they look pretty cool.

I'm wondering whether they'll look like ***** with the headlight turned on
