Default Singer style headlights

A rennlister up here in Canada is making singer style headlights for many different 911. He is making me a set for my 356 as well.
Check it out they look amazing . Much of the singer look is in The headlights. Canadian customers get a better deal if you ask.

Here is one side compared to the other

Looks like someone glued a flashlight in it.

I don't know. Unless you're doing a lot of night drives, the passenger side light looks much more original.

I have to agree. The stock 964 lights are shockingly poor. I'm keen on these now HID's.

Yes absolutely but the singer style is a cool look and functional . You can get the lights in fluted style like the original too instead of the clear lens

Cool idea, love the Singer head lights. I can see it looking good on the right air cooled car, but if you have a older patina'd all OEM air cooler I think they would look out of place.

I think they'll look cool on your 356, do it for sure.

It may just be the angle of the photo... but that was my first thought too...

EDIT: Actually I figure out what it is... these aftermarket headlights have "Halos" around them while the actual Singer car doesn't.
