I think that this is a real winner. There is a company on Ebay that is selling hi/lo HID lights that will work perfect. They come in H4, 9004, and 9007 bulbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

The lenses should have been here by now. The situation is that my father-in-law has been extremely busy with a big customer, running his shop 16 hours a day turning out medical stuff.

On top of that he's been having serious problems with one of his legs and may need surgery. Its imobilized him quit a bit. Last time I talked to him he assured me that he was very close to being finished. I'll try and find out this weekend what is going on, hopefully this gets moving soon.

Tony,

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I hope all goes well.

If toolings nearly done, that's the biggest hurdle. Can't wait to see them... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

... and 11 months later: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I just picked up a 914 in Dec 2006, and within a couple of weeks had ideas of installing rectangular lights in the stock position (removing the pop-ups). I planned on molding ABS housings to cover the original bucket 'holes' and covering them with a LEXAN 'flat top' ... but then started thinking more about something in the signal housings (like your doing).

Like a lot of you, I found myself eyballing cars in the parking lot at work for ideas but no concrete ideas or plans came about.

I met Tony at a Sharp BBQ in January or February 2007 and discussed his headlight project. He mentioned the clear lenses that his father-in-law had made. Just this passed w/e at the 'AR', George H. told me to check out your posts, Felix.

I just read your thread this evening and find your work very interesting ... to date, is there any additional progress?

My light progress continued on my primary thread: here

We are awaiting the production versions from Tony.

Thanks for your interest...

Felix,

Did you ever finish the lights?
Do you have some wrap up posting you could do on that project?

Okay I going to pick up my VERY FIRST 914 in the morning. I have been trying to find a conversion kit to eliminate the pop up headlights. After seeing this post I have changed my entire approach! PLEASE let me know if you plan on putting thoes projector lights into production. Also check out this Youtube link. Maybe these L.E.D. headlights will work better...

Tell me what you think. OH and that is a DAMN SEXY PORSCHE you have built!

This is my solution. They were fabricated from a 240sx kit on ebay. I think I posted somewhere about these. The low beam is a HID projector and the High beam is a HID flood lens...

This pic is before the HID and projector...

Oops im sorry, I was talking about the silver 914. However, the flares on the white 914 are VERY nice as well. I know I would like to get some fender flares but im NOT a big fan of the LEGO (squared off stuck on flares) so I am looking for some options. ANY assistance you all could offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

You might like the Rich Bontempi flares. Chris at Tangerine Racing also makes some great steel flares with the nice bulge style.
