Try headlights from gt-racing's catalog. They are the 924 Carrera GT headlights. I don't know how the fit on those is, but it's at least designed to not be a total pain.

Technically, they are GTS or GTR lights. The GT had the pop-up lights as standard.

Wow rice. My favorite part is the fact it's got an in-dash LCD but whoever's worked on the car couldn't figure out how to rewire the radar detector cable so it isn't draped across the cabin. Nice work.

Lights look ... weird.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Sorry, I looked at the site with that yellow 944, and just HAD to laugh!!! Talk about UGLY!!! How the hell do you open the rear hatch??? I have yet to see a body kit that I liked a lot, and that car is no exception, in fact, it reinforces my previous statement. These cars are so beautiful stock (if kept up well) I cant imagine WHY anyone would change the appearance THAT drastically. Its a sad world...
