Probably the one of the hardest to find part for your 914.

Should be interesting to see what it sells for!

Yes he is. he steered me away from one of his sales because he said the part wasn't what I needed. Not everyday on ebay.

I have one FS at half the price. If you really need one, make an offer?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

It has a few issues.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) It's JB-Welding on the right side post/bracket and it has a few cracks, but it's the real deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

So whats the history of the silver edge lamp? is it a early part ?

How long was it in production. I can't say I have seen one before.

From P914 Website:

The Domeless Light

Porsche 914 and Porsche 914/6 vehicles contain an interior light manufactured by Hella, This lamp has an off-white three-setting switch with positions for off, on and door-switch activation. Because of the removable roof, the interior light fits into the center section of the back pad located behind the seats. The lens sits nearly flush with the pad when installed, so terming it a "dome light" really makes no sense.

The factory-provided interior lights in the Porsche 914 models possess a chrome trim and were (not surprisingly) "Made In Germany." The OEM replacements are currently "Hecho en Mexico," do not have the chrome found on the factory provided units and have a black switch. This is unfortunate, because the majority of original Porsche 914 and 914/6 interior lights have suffered bulb heat, water or other damage during decades of use. As such, original examples in good condition have become extremely hard to obtain.

Current eBay listings for Porsche 914 interior lights (compare listed items with those pictured on this page to ensure authenticity and/or suitability.)
