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.

Variety is the spice of life. How about factory Original Equipment Porsche lamps? LED DRL's/ Turn sigs in the original location. I swear those were made for the 914. The curvature is perfect. Suckers are bright as hell......Only 5w on turn and 9w as DRL's..... Wicked!!! A little bezel or lens fab and good to go.
I gotta run. My dog Goliath just pee'd. Aaargh! Little guy couldnt hold it. Got all excited over lamps. Attached image(s)
