I had a set of Cibie Oscars on my last VW. Those things are great! I plan on getting two pair for the NARP once the body work has been done. I'll mount one pair in the bumper somewhat in the stock location and the other I'll mount inboard a bit. Super Oscars were THE rally light to own in the day. I have a set of Cibie headlamps now and find they are worth the extra coin. IMO, there is a big quality difference between the Cibie 7" E-spec and a similar lamp from Hella.

QUOTE(djm914-6 @ Oct 20 2003, 12:34 PM) SNIP I have a set of Cibie headlamps now and find they are worth the extra coin. IMO, there is a big quality difference between the Cibie 7" E-spec and a similar lamp from Hella. I happened to have a set of Hella 7" e-code headlamps laying around which I just put in my S2. My 914 has Cibie 7" e-code headlamps already. There is no comparision! The Cibies have a much sharper cutoff and produce "more" useful light (same bulb wattage). Now I'm screwed since I've seen the difference. The Hellas are coming out so I can put another set of Cibies in. Bosch e-code headlamps are close to the Cibie but no cigar. Have fun, Kevin |

My old 911 had E-code vintage Cibie H4's too; I ended up replacing them with Bosch H4's (the slant-lens 911 kind), mostly for looks. I wish I hadn't sold the Cibies, though. I have the euro Hella H4's on my current 914, with PIAA bulbs; they're nice but I don't drive it at night anyway. The headlights are basically just still there to help save me from too many equipment violation fines if I get pulled-over on the street (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Chris, was your blue car a sporto?
I looked at an 911 E blue sporto with lights like that at California Cars in Calabassas. |

I really love the "GT" look these lamps give to the car....trouble is as has been mentioned before the correct period lamps are £$€!.
I have never seen any of the cluster variety for sale as shown on the silver 155 numbered car.....might be a bit of an overkill though Attached image(s)
