Restoring my '73 914 2.0 to park next to my original (and my first car) '71 914 and want to seriously upgrade the headlights. The car will spend most of its life in Arizona where it is VERY dark at night as street lights are few and far between.
I've gotten spoiled by the great HID or halogen lights in various Audis, BMW's and even my VW GLI. Anyone know of a good BRIGHT aftermarket light that will fit the original sockets?? I've got Cibie lights in the '71 and they are only marginal. TIA |

Try the Hella, Bosch, etc. 7" diam. H4's with uprated 80/100 watt bulbs (you may have to buy the bigger watt bulbs separately or in addition to the 55/60), & the High Power Relay Kits sold by various vendors.
PP/Automotion, AA, Pelican & the usual suspects carry them, BusDepot.com had some, perhaps TC'sGarage.com, Sierra Madre Collection, etc. & maybe GPR & other member vendors on here may too. Bulb/Housing wise it should be the same standard 7" diam. set-up works for 911/912 or any car of the era. I did the similar upgrade on my 88 Westy (rectangular housings there though) with the GoWesty kit & it made a huge difference! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) PS - the Euro 914s could be had with those H4s as an option, but US-DOT hadn't yet approved them nor any halogen headlights, so it should be a fair-game upgrade for them. |
