My headlights are pretty dim. I try not to drive at night. So I'm thinking of ordering a set of H4s. But I noticed that current lights look like Cibie's with replacable bulbs. I'm going to pop them open today to get a close look. Does anyone recognize what I've got here?

These headlights ended up being in great shape. Took them out, cleaned them, popped into FLAPS for a fresh pair of 55W H4 bulbs, tested voltage at 11.7 at the connector with engine idling, even gave the black trim pieces a fresh coat of paint. The rubber boots at the back were soft and pliable, like new. It isn't dark yet, so can't test for brightness and aim, but they've got to be better than they were. Now I can't wait to mount my Cibie Iode fog lights. A matched set it will make.

That's a great loooking car! i have a new set of those Cibie headlights but the Euro version without the glass bubble around the bulb. Hopefylly they'll work well with 914 Rubber's LED bulbs I just received. |
