Cool 356 Headlight in 964

I retro'd these 356 headlights into my 964 with 135/100 watt bulbs and relays. First time posting a picture, hope it works?

Hey Shaker,

A friend of mine fitted Beetle lenses to his Euro RS, looks similar to those flat 356 lenses!

Ciao,

Shaker, why would you want to do that?? IMHO it looks worse, and I am sure they are less powerful than the standard 964 lights.

Well, I guess diversity is what makes the world go round...

Shaker - I think it looks kind of cool - Your lamps inside the housing are the Cibie' E-Code H4s right? Did they bolt directly into the bucket? What wattage bulbs are you running?

Also, the small running light, the yellow bulbs, - - - are they wired into your side marker light circuit?

Scupper,

Cibie E-code H-4's and they actually clip right into the 356 buckets. Much more powerful than the standard flashlight like H-5's and much brighter than the H-4 upgrade, due to the 135/100 watt bulbs and direct wiring through relays from the battery.

I really like the looks of the 964 and IMHO think this gives the car an even cleaner look.
