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 |

Would these headlights fit in a 914 housing? Or would they stick out too far and foul up the folding parts? |

Would these headlights fit in a 914 housing? Or would they stick out too far and foul up the folding parts? A 1000 bucks for headlights on a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) I put some Evilbay H4 conversions on mine....HATE them. If I had to do it over again, I would have just ordered the Silverstar's from Flaps and been done with it. H6024ST SilverStar: The brighter and whiter light. Up to 35% brighter, up to 30% more downroad visibility and up to 35% more sideroad visibility. Now the Pilot lights rock in the stock fog light location. |
