Default Headlamp covers

Does anyone know of a source or manufacturer of plastic headlamp lens covers for a 964? I can't find them for the 964 anywhere!

I've got the yellow ones on my Euro Cup.

No problems with my H4's. Easy 10 minute job.
Maybe the year listing had to do with H4 headlights, they switched to H5's here in the US around that time I think.
Adrian would be the guy to ask for the definitive answer

Here's a pic of the ACO yellow on my car:

So, can anyone enlighten me on how to tell if my RSA has H4's or H5's? I was assuming those three listings ltc linked wouldn't fit (I'd found those on the net already), but sounds like they do?

Kurquhart, I see you're in San Diego - I bought my RSA down there from a guy named Burl last April in La Jolla. Do you know the car? He said he used to Autocross it down there quite a bit. I'm getting it ready to run Super Production in ICSCC up here.

Yes, I am somewhat familiar with that RSA - we used the same mechanic. I believe Burl raced it for several years, but I started just this past January, so we only ran a few events together.

I got mine from Pelican. It is 3M clear plastic, die cut for a perfect fit. I also used them on my 300 E, a much more tricky shape. On a 911 it is an easy install, and after 2 years, you still can't tell there is anything over the lens unless you know to look. Be certain the glass is clean and dry, and be careful how you roll it on to avoid trapping an air pocket between the glass and plastic cover. It is great insurance against breaking an expensive crystal lens.
