Headlight Conversion?
#18
Ive seen a couple of pics of 944's with the pop up headlights removed and replaced with "regular" headlights... has anyone done this and what is the best way/ parts to get ???
Myself and at least two other listers are still working on it however, if we come up with a marketable solution for an amount of money that people will actually pay I will let you know, if not I will show you pics of my setup whenever I get around to finishing it.

I *think* the GT Racing kit is also meant to fit 944's and not the larger light opening of 951 cars. There will be a gap. Am I correct? Or have they unofficially added some 951 lense covers as well?
I've been toying with the idea of going to fixed headlights, but sometimes I look at cars with them and think that it is an odd mix of retro and modern when paired with a 951/S2 type front end. I think it looks better on 924 CGTS cars. But then I look at photos of Rage's car and think it looks cool.
What I would really be interested in would be a way of having a fixed headlight set up like the GT Racing kit, but have factory looking body colored covers that somehow lock over the glass/plastic lenses for lens protection and factory appearance during the day, but can be removed when it gets dark for headlight use.

Jeremy for some of us the fixed headlights are a means to an end. I.e. I dont like them all thea much but without the headlight garbage in the way I can do something else I am trying to accomplish. In an ideal world I would dump them all together and just use a fixed panel like badass951 had on his but it gets dark here at 1700 so I dont think that is an option.

Dmoffitt's are the nicest fixed headlights I have seen, so hopefully he could post some pics if he sees this. I love how he used two round lights inside the fixed location. I think nine-44 did the same. Where have you been nine-44?

The headlights are one of the few things that I really dislike about these cars, makes me want a 911 sometimes.
PS: On a side note, the "dark at 1700" thing really has me depressed here. Makes me want to stick a pencil in my eye and run out into the dark night screaming.

Yeah, it is dark when I get to work and dark when I leave! Not cool....If you hit up chat later I can tell you why I am so anxious to dump them.
