Pop up headlight delete? Options

[John1180]

I've been looking for some ideas for an alternative to pop up headlights. Haven't found anything in search. Any ideas or pics?

[horizontally-opposed]

The drop-down headlights are the setup I hope someone will do, with the stock headlight "hole" on each side of the hood filled by one piece of steel (or?) instead of the one Porsche had to use with the separate "brow." Back of the panel drops down to expose modern LED lights or projector setup. Wouldn't take a lot of drop down, and would result in a very clean look.

Have never liked the "brows" in front of the 914's headlights, and always love the shape of the headlight hole when people are putting their cars back together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

That is a great idea. If someone wants to drop off a project car or send one ill do it.

Should not be hard to use original parts. I could spin the door motor 180deg to have them pop down.

You will have to not care about cutting the factory metal a bit.

Someone step up and try this

... So the vector will live on . in more than just (my) and gerald weigart mind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Take some measurements and do the math...I don't think you'll be able to fit the headlights like you'd like. Having said that, I think it's almost a challenge... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

The Vector solution is the solution. Question will be what headlights, and LEDs may be needed. Nice thing is LED lighting is pretty incredible these days. There's got to be something that is plain enough, as wide as a round H4, and not very tall. Ideally, it's a rectangle or has two round circles...and ideally it offers high/low beams.

If my 914 wasn't so period correct, I'd be pretty interested in doing this.
