I know not everyone has built one, in fact I am sure not many have. I am hoping that someone has one that they will be able to answer this question or help me out with a photo or two. the Chalon kit I have is new and has never had lights in it yet. I got it mounted but cannot figure out how to install the front turn signals in the bumper. Here is a picture of mine, I drilled the holes for the wires to go through and holding the lights up there, I cant see how I am going to mount them. Any help here would be great. Maybe pull your front lights out and let me see how yours are mounted? Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

The gap at the top of the bumper will go away once I install the rest of the bolts. It fits nice with no gaps anywhere. I just got called to go do a job in Newport and will be back in a few hours. I am hoping to get this all together today so I can drive the car. Come on guys, help me out here.

Yeah, I sent him a PM asking if he would remove the light that is in there and take a picture of how it mounts in the bumper. Hopefully I will hear something back when I return from this job. I am leaving now so I can get it done and get back here to work on the car. Its a cash job so I just cant pass it up. Otherwise, I would be closed this weekend.

Scott,
It's been decades (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) but the backs of mine were already cut out or I cut them out since the light assemby would not fit with them there. I fiberglassed metal U brackets where the assemblies bolt from the back. I don't plan on removing the bumper since it is a PITA to get to the mounting bolts and then aligning everything... |

Looks like you can use a 911 SC or Carrera assembly in there.....It's a two piece assembly...turn signals AND US style side markers.

found the article - but it is completely silent on light installation. however - considering how cheesy early 911 lighting bracketry is, i'd think you could bond or blind-rivet some small angle brackets and they're be completely 'period-correct.'

Im no pst whore but here are the 5 I dsent emai incase they dont make it. The lights have a pin on them that goes in a hole you provide. The bananas were held in with RTV but I think some of those self threading nuts would work on the pins.
