Hello this is my 1973 914? I’m currently looking for turn signals, side markers, rear lights and a LED headlight conversion. Is there a website you all go to buy parts sort of a one stop shop?

Not a std front end, maybe from a kit a while ago. You will need to figure out what they used and try to source as needed. I believe there is a very complete vendor section at the top of the forum that has tons of suppliers in it. The rears look std, so easier to find.
I am resisting suggesting companies to use, others probably will, each have pluses and minuses. Get as much as you can at one to save shipping and good luck. |

That is a Chalon kit. One of the more popular in its day.
I would start with Automotive Atlanta. If anybody remembers what front lenses that uses it would probably be them. And they can set you up with any stock lenses you need. Actually, I suspect the front bumper lights are from a 911sc. If you like LED conversions (non headlight) , you can look here https://www.spokeworksled.com/ They can do both the front light and the rear 914 lights. |

Those front bumper parking/turn signal lamps are 911 units. Not sure how many years used the same units, probably several yrs. Take the them to a Porsche dealer perhaps they can point you in the right direction.
Here's mine:  |

I would be interested in knowing that myself. The rears are 'standard', the fronts look like 911 maybe 924? Not sure. 914rubber.com, autoatlanta (Dr. 914 would probably know although he will grumble about the chalon), there is also pelican parts, sierra collection, etc for more generic porsche stuff.
And.. your chalon looks pretty good, considering the age. I don't see many seams and you still have the right wheels on it. All good signs. What's the engine? |

That looks like it. I got very familiar with them during my led conversion this summer.

And I guess that was another of the OPs questions. Yes, full led conversion is easy and cheap.914rubber has some fantastic led head lights that just pop right in with no mods, and between your local auto parts store and Amazon you can swap all the other lights for very little. If you can't find my recipe on here let me know and I can dig it up.
