914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ Wanted: White Headlight Surrounds

Posted by: tumamilhem Dec 11 2012, 04:38 PM

Looking for a second set of headlight surrounds but in white. Want to see how they look on L80E Light Ivory car. Please provide close-up pics. Thanks!

They look great, but 70-73 had white & 74-76 the black - both look good on L80E light ivory or white IMHO. If you're doing a Concours & OE correct 914 resto, then go with which was correct for that year, otherwise pick whichever you prefer.

Sorry, but these are the best I've got in my extensive resto ref pix of L80E's since most don't photo with the lights up, & many have replaced with black after the white ones went NLA.
