Default Do you see the light ???? a low cost Porsche DIY Project

I found an old thread where you convert regular fogs into Euro / Driving lights.

Really easy upgrade cost less then $50.00 just need the reflectors from two trashed fogs....enjoy the light.

your car looks very nice and clean. I think the fuch's are one of the best wheel designs ever made.

Here is a photo (not mine) from the thread...also I bought some R-Viny (Yellow) and wrapped mine, I think it looks good/euro (IMHO).

As pointed out above, you can't aim them properly. Therefore you could have one pointed toward Sputnik and the other into the eyes of on-coming traffic.

Ramius,

You should read the thread......you actually can aim them with a little drilling and some work drummel.

I have an (1) extra N/A lens for doing this conversion...the relfector is a little rough (could be resilvered with tin foil or something from a craft store if you wanted to) but still works. The Glass is broken.....just the reflector and plastic bezel which holds the glass are intact....I don't have any other pieces or screws.

If anybody (MUST BE A RL MEMEBER) is interested it is your for $5.00 shipping....as I hate to keep stuff I don't need and also hate to throw stuff like that away.

The NA lenses are too long IIRC.
