Headlight conversion

I've seen that Strosek panel before, and in isolation I think it looks quite good, but I have seen a picture of it fitted to a car and painted - and it looked awful [:eek:]

Personally I love the pop-ups on a 944, it's one of the things that draws me to the car. Come the day when we do a top speed VMAX day at an airfield, I will be doing some runs with lights up to see what the difference in top speed is [8|]

I like them when they are down, not up. My first pop up headlamp car was a Fiat X1/9. Great fun. Imagine what could go wrong with pop up headlamps on a Fiat. Made in the 70's. Then 20 years old.

With the roof off turning on the headlamps definately changed the noise of the air stream over your head in the X1/9. Haven't noticed that at all in the 944 with the roof out.
 
Im sure one of the Porsce Open 944's is road registered and MOT'd without headlights... its a bluey purple one...

thinking about it having no headlights in the UK is insane, our weather isnt good enough!
 
Just opened the latest issue of Porsche post and on page 47 there's a pic of a 944 running in the Silverstone 24 hours race which seems to be using a combination of lights in the bumper and a pair of spots. Not particularly pretty but obviously effective! [:D]
 
Nissan headlights will fit?

Someone did fit 350Z lights to a 924, so it will work. That's the positive.

On the negative side it looked pretty poor, was seriously in the way inside the engine bay, there was no room for washers any more and I hate to think what the wiring was like. Why bother? They suit the car perfectly as they are unless you're lightening it, and I can't see modern lights being that much lighter for the hassle.
 
Im assuming that the OP was asking which lamps could be used in a 924 CGT-esque light conversion (and that he was referring to 200SX / MR2 lamps).

'Chavvy'? Im proposing a moratorium in this overused word.

With regrards to the lamps: I suspect that youre confusing 300ZX lamps with 200SX lamps, because these are broadly similar to those used in the massivley over-priced kit that you have linked to.

yup 300zx thanks for the correction.

i'll stand by chavvy. overused perhaps but sums it up nicely.

 
Well: I have presumed that the OP means CGT lamps, it is possible that he was referring to the 300ZX lights, which are terrible. If its clear replacements that retain the original badge panel then the lamps need to be approximately 100mm x 165mm in size. Id post some pictures and a link to a how-to, but I cant paste links(or anything) for a reason that I dont understand.

I also cant post any pictures of the Dingles, so I will have to content myself with saying: Barnsley Axl? Give me six! [:D]
 
You're right..they are (fairly? no..) costly..[&:]
They do look nice though..
