Changing a 964 to Europe
Hey,
I need to rebuild my car to Europe specs. Need some help. My Handbook has nothing about headlights and taillights (
FRONT:
1) Need to change the whole headlights. Just start with the bolt and the front annulus?
2) No Sidemarkers, so I'll just kill them. Fuse or just bulbs out?
3) parking light goes in the headlight. Whats the easiest way to get behind the lights? Do I have to take the front fender off?
REAR:
4) Big light unit: easy.
5) Rear lights: Got new assemblies, needed different TI color. How do I get them out? Again, rear fender or easier?
Thanks y'all in advance, I miss Georgia it started snowing here again ((
Bye

Headlights :
Remove screw in outer bezel, lift off upwards.
Lower screw undo and head light lifts out upwards
Bumper lights:
Undo side screw pull out, fog light undo two screws and pull out, reflector slides out forwards
Rear lights:
Remove screw on each corner and slide out
Centre reflector has three or four screws across the top then pulls out

Alright got them out and the wire for parking up there. Easy. Just one problem. The euro socket for H4 is different than the US. Just cut the wires and put new shoes on each single one? Then I got thenext problem. It's 3 wires for ground and the 2 different headlights. I can get the voltage on my car for which is which but which is which on the H4 itself? There are. I marks on it whatsoever.. They're on there like three sides of a rectangle with the fourth missing

sorry to hijack this thread but has anybody actually done a conversion on a rear US style rear 964 reflector panel and cut the blanks out and added the two fog light bulbs?
I have a USA car in the UK wish to install rear fogs in the rear light panel I have the fog switch already in the dash and was wondering if a DIY showing the holes being made exist so I can visualise the process.

Ok everything went fine so far. Getting the radio out was baaaaad. I think I have to go to double service on sunday
Ordered the adapters, gonna take a while. Rear fogs are in. Easy. Just one problem: The switch is NOT illuminated - normal for rear fog switch? I dont know whats possibly wrong, the wiring sits there and the switch has a predefined plug...
