Well, one of my front headlights decided to give it up this evening. Can I get some pointers on where to get a quality set of headlights and how to replace them?

Any while you are there, I noticed one of my rear running lights are out also...what bulb type do those take?

-Britain

go with some nice h4's...

cibie makes some nice ones.....


sealed beams also work fine. look at silverstars.


DO NOT use the cheap vw h4 ones on ebay.... they dont fit right. ask me how i know...

I don't remember the bulb # for the rear but you can get those at a good auto parts store.
As far as the head lamps, What Aaron said..

To change your head lamps:

Turn on headlamps and than disconnect the ground (+) strap. Remove the

headlamp surrounds, Remove the screws that hold the retaining ring (3) in

place. (try not to mess with the adjusting screws in same area) Careful when

you pull it loose the lamp may fall out. Unplug and replace. Now do the other side

and reassemble in reverse order. Easy. Get the H-4's you won't be sorry.

Bulbs for a 914:

Headlight - - - H6024
Brakelight/Taillight - - - 1157
Turn Signal - - - 1156 (front and rear)
Reverse - - - 1156

GPR has good prices on US style H-4s. Don't go higher wattage than 55/60w w/o installing relays to compensate for the load.

For about $5 you can get replacement halogen (not H-4) headlights at FLAPS.

The $5 ones aren't $5 anymore, and they're NOT halogens, which run around $15-20. The Cap'n

I have some H4s at CAMP.

You have the H4 ones or the FLAPS ones?

Chappy suggested these to me: headlights on ebay. I believe he's using them and satisfied.

I've been tempted by those Ebay lights, my bulbs seem awful dim and I've cleaned the connections. Those are 85/80Wl, so they will require a different relay?

those ebay ones are flat tho. and look pretty wierd when they are up.

I bought some Hella yellowstars from Rallylights.com and LOVE them!
