If you have any intention of driving your 964 at night, I would not install these clear glass lenses without also installing bi-xenon projector HIDs. The light output spread without the diffusion/dispersion from the glass is almost useless.

Having taken a look at Chris's (Deutschland Dobson) car yesterday I must say that these lenses look really good.
Not that long ago I replaced the lamps in mine for a good improvement in output but the reflectors are in a very poor state. Does anyone have an idea where these can be found? Not worth me putting clear lenses on until the reflectors are up to scratch.
Cheers,
Thomas

Thanks for the reply. I thought of having them refinished but was wondering if new were available should the refinish not be an option.
AP design look nice but way more than I'm willing to pay.

Looks like Paul Stephens is now doing singer style clear lens kits as well. Looks cool with colour coded insides though:

So it that just swapping the lens for a clear one and painting the bowl?
If so, how do you find the beam & pattern and has it been through an MOT yet?
Apologies if this has already been answered.

Yep, just replacement lenses and painted inner bowl.
The mot guy didn't mention it, and as it's just a weekend car it doesn't really get driven at night so hasn't caused me an issue. The pattern obviously looks a different shape, but I'm not sure if it's worse. Tbh I'm not 100% sure if I do like the look so keep thinking about reverting to standard lenses.

Okay, just for clarification.
If your headlight rings do not have the rubber covers for the adjustment points, then you have H4s and these lens replacements will work for your car?
If your headlight rings do have the rubber covers for adjustment, then you have H5s and these lens replacement pieces will NOT work on your car?
Is this correct?

These will not work with H5s. The H5s are a sealed unit, you'll need H4s to use them.
