I like the clean look of those lights.

I don't think the AP Design lights look as good as the Singer lights.

I would also worry about being DOT approved for road use...

Here's a shot of the AP Design light from the website.

I swear I thought of how a Singer-look super clean 964 would look like, yesterday! I actually thought they didn't come in 964 chassis.

Looks fantastic, but you would have a to have a really clean and classy car to pull it off, and those side mirrors are a must.

Do some research on Fresnel lenses before you go replacing the lens and reuse the OEM bowls. All those grooves/designs on the OEM glass are there for a reason and improve lighting performance.

If you're going to use the clear lenses you either need to do a projector retrofit (halogen or xenon) ala the Singer headlight or retrofit reflector bowls that are designed for use w/ non-Fresnal lenses, which is probably what the AP Design reflector-based kit has.

Sorry bud, not sure if you meant mine?

I've got a show this weekend so will get some externals. Still work in progress tho I've got interior parts at the leather trimmers at the mo, so interior shots will be posted later in the year once the magic is complete

A couple Singers have already been built on 964's, and they just recently announced that going forward they will only build them on 964's.

Sounds good! Too bad they are too expensive.
