Hi

Pelican parts sell clear Porsche headlight cover. http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...vers%2C%20pair

I'm not sure how optically clean they would be.

Is that 5 bar treadplate you have on the floor? I have been looking for a sorce for some 5 bar. Need to make some interior door panels and other stuff for my wifes Pinzgauer.

I don't know if its 5bar. I'll have to look again. Alex had got it.

These FX's have been in the mix since 2002ish. At that time they were the only small bi-xenon out there. Not many to chose from back then.

Matt at: http://store.theretrofitsource.com/index.php has helped me out with some items.

Pretty cool. Thanks for the link.



What are your opinions of the yellow 911 lenses above?

Hi

Looking very high tech.

I have a set Hella Xenon & halogen modules that I was going to fit into my 1303, but I think that they are going to be too deep and I would have to cut into the headlight buckets.

On my old bug with 17 inch wheels the tyres used to kiss headlight bucket at times.

How much did you need to cut into the back of the headlight bucket?

So now I'm thinking just using stock 911 H4 headlights with a Xenon conversion.

Steve

My Hella modules, they even have self leveling

[petevw]

Hey Steve,

I didn't cut the headlight bucket. It still looks like this:



Those self leveling lights would be pretty cool.

Those look killer... you are a sick man Pete! (mad fab skilz)

Hi

I hope they do the Xenon dance on startup, like the late BMs, Porsches etc.

I have been measuring and double checking and I think I can fit them in, I will have a better look when I get to that part of the project.

Didn't do much with the split for the month of July. Too many other things going on. Plan to hit it again in the next couple weeks. I'll update.

Beautiful work Pete!

Below other beautiful eyes... Interestingly, the lens is transparent and has the same format as the original 911.

Glad to see the CF crotch cooler doors are staying can't wait to see them finished.

I was joking around with someone the other day about led lights and turn signals and the thought of led semaphores came to mind. The mix of new tech and old tech seemed like it would really fit your build. Got any plans for leds?

Sweet door flaps! I used H4 conversion HIDs in my bug for a while until the voltage drop during low idle warmup blew a ballast... Still trying to find something better, with a decent projector that goes in the buckets easy...
