Default 1987 Targa headlights
I thought I had recently saw a an advertisement for either LED or some other higher intensity lights ... was I dreaming or is there an aftermarket solution that improves the lighting for G50 series cars?

I went with flat6illumination. They look a little different than the ones above. Either way, still way better than stock H5s

I'm not sure id go with LED or even projection lights on a Classic 911 ( unless of course it was a complete singer style Build ) . But to each his own, I guess I'm a little old school.

I am the same way, I much prefer the look of the H5s. However, due to the amount of night time highway driving I do, this was a compromise I made.

I have gotten to a point (in age) where H4s are useless.

I've been looking at the Carmagic headlights. Good reviews, available with a fluted H4 lens for the classic look, and integrated DRLs (although not that fond of the look). About $900 for fluted H4's with chrome trim. Not a bad option if you have to replace H5's.
