I am looking for a low profile headligth kit for my 944, just like there is for det mazda MX-5

That actually looks kinda neat, I think it would look better with a rectangular sealed beam in each housing rather than the 2 round ones in each.

The current trend is away from rectangles and squares and more into round shapes. This can be seen in cars and headlights from corvettes to porsche. I like round headlights more than square, myself.

Not too bad. . . A little weird - I'm more partial to the 924-CGT ones, but whatever thrills ya'.

the best non-stock headlight setup belongs to MPD47.

Yea, wonderful. . . A car that's technically illegal. Great idea. He better hope he doesn't catch a cop on a bad day. I'm sure those "down low" lights are really effective at making those jacked-up SUVs and 18-wheelers see you too. On a black car no less. I'd stick to driving that one in daylight hours only. . .

Here's one I found that I kind of like - adds a lot to modernizing the look of the car, if that's what you're into:

It seems every time you speak, bull**** comes out. you never have anything decent to say.


however back on topic..... the pic you just posted is not the best for those headlights. i do like those headlights, but the bumper on that car uglies it up. here is a better pic.....

Personally, I would love to have the Carrera GTS lights.

I dunno, I kind of like that bumper, but personal preference I suppose. . .

I don't understand why it's "bull****" (as you claim) to point out that Mr. MPD47's setup is illegal. Either that or they have some very strange vehicular codes where he lives. If so, then my apologies and more power to him. However, I'm willing to bet that the laws in his state probably require two white lights at such-and-such a height aimed at a point so-far away, etc. etc. etc. This is pretty standard vehicle code stuff.

If he likes the look of it, that's fine. I personally don't care much for it, but personal tastes aside, I'll just say that I'm probably doing him a favor by pointing out that in addition to being likely illegal and running him the risk of a citation (or worse yet, an impound), it's probably not the safest thing on earth for nighttime driving. This is why I suggested "drive it during the day". In case you haven't noticed, our cars are pretty vulnerable on the road due to high-profile vehicles having a hard time seeing them.

But of course this is "bull****" to you because evidently I disagree with your personal tastes in headlights. Very mature.

944J

In California they only have to be 22 inches high.

Got Boost?

That's almost 2' above the ground. Someone measure it, but I believe that's considerably higher than the mounting point of a 944 driving/fog lamp assembly.

This is somewhat open for interpretation based on the definition of "main lights" versus "driving lights" but I find this portion interesting:

I think you might have a helluva time convincing a cop or judge that those are "main lights", not "foglamps".

No, the "BS" that i speak of is you showing your *** every time you speak. you think you know everything but your ingnorance just overwhelms everything you say. Take this quote for example...

you said this in my FS thread of my Vitesse wasted spark system. obviously you had no idea what you were talking about.

on a side note... I could care less if you don't like his light setup.

back on topic....

I don't like the first set.. look like it has lazy eye syndrom. I love MPD47's!

Mine are going to be similar to the first image, however i am removing the bucket completly. Do a search on my name and "fixed headlight project", they are getting built.. i should have mine done in the next few weeks

jgporsche

i might be going with a set of these for my 944S......

Got Boost?

It's not about liking it necessarily, it's the fact that ultimately it's illegal and unsafe. My personal preferences (and yours) are irrelevant.

With regards to the wasted spark thing - that's called an "honest question". I'm sure the moderators of this forum appreciate the fact that such honest questions by new people to the forum are refered to as "bull****" by geniuses such as yourself. That's exceedingly mature and reflects so well on the forum they're trying to run/promote here.

So I guess "honest questions" are "bull****" to you, hmm? Now I've seen it all. . .

*sigh*

Since you brought the wasted spark thing up. . .

If I recall correctly, I even specifically pointed out that I wasn't trying to undercut your sale of said kit, I was simply inquiring why it cost 800 bucks, which seemed a little outlandish to me (and frankly, still does). The reason I asked that question was simply that I didn't understand why someone would charge that much money based on what my understanding of what a wasted spark setup was and did (which was ultimately correct, BTW - just a little incomplete in the context of 951-specific tuning). I provided you with an opportunity to convince me (and others) that your asking price was fair. FWIW I think you did adequately, though I wouldn't exactly consider a career in sales either.

Since you seem so hell-bent on invoking the search feature in a feeble attempt to stroke your own obviously insecure ego, let's look at some of the stuff YOU'VE posted recently, just for giggles:

( Yeah, that makes sense. . . If it's a track car, remove the console. If it's not, what's the point? I'm sure THAT helps. Put some "type-R" stickers on the car too. Those will add HP fo' sheezy.)



I see the pattern here. I guess that explains your angst towards me. . . I guess I hit a nerve because you're one of those people that only knows how to bolt up pricey aftermarket parts and my calling out such people offends you. Don't distress though, I'm sure everyone looks at you in awe over how much money you must have to burn on your car. It'll make your ding-a-ling bigger too. Really! I promise. In fact, just go buy a Corvette or Ferrari 355 now while you're at it. More male enhancement to be had for simply spending money!

Congrats, you've made my earlier point for me. Thank you for suggesting that I invoke the search feature to save me the effort of explaining it. You did it better than I ever could. Anyway, based on that, I think I'm done with listening to you and this board in general for a while - there obviously isn't much real value to get out of this. No big loss I guess. It's sad that there are so many poseurs here (with apologies to PorschePhD and a few others, who sound like exactly the kinds of knowledgeable guys I'd be interested in chatting with over a beer sometime about what's involved with REAL tuning and P-car ownership - not just showing off how expensive my latest parts collection is).

O&O. Done.
