Yes I have done a search. The neo 914's hellas are about $700. I do not plan on driving this car at night and I have removed the factory headlight buckets . I would like some light to come on when I flip the switch so they appear legal.

I've had this idea since the 914s first hit the market. I never did like the pop-up headlights (and still don't).
Andy's modified lights appear to sit at a height very close to the stock headlights. Since 914s are fairly scarce, and many cops today have no idea what a 914 is anyway, one with modified headlights and a hood that eliminates any evidence that there were pop-up headlights there previously, may not even raise an eyebrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I was looking at some Yamaha R6 headlights a while back. They have both high and low beam bulbs and I believe they would fit the turn signal bucket with a little trimming on the R6's reflectors. They'd appear to be a little more 'legal' since they are DOT approved headlights. The reason I asked if the original headlight wells were retained was just in case I was cited and would need to convert back to original lights. I would also see if the clear (Italian) turn signal lenses could hold up to the heat ... as they look more 'stock' than flat lenses do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
