964 headlights

[Pesty]

Is there a plug and play bulb yet or headlights that offer more than two candle power?

Going to try and start using it again


I think the diesel Skoda is faster lol

Look at Nighteye LEDs.

Interesting thanks. Will need to check heat sink will fit but look promising

Just found these that are exact size ( actually seem to have 16 or so mm Adele’s behind but from memory should be clearance) as halogen so should be no problem

Thanks

Ooooh now we are talking I like those. Bit steep at the moment 2k dollars so plus shipping and import tax etc ( couldn’t find them in the uk.)

Definitely on the wish list. Never know might get that bonus this year as we are 630% over plan

Oh no they’ve said were are not getting it lol. But if we do I’m sticking those in the basket
Thanks

Nothing to add on lights .......but what a lovely car

I like it on those alloys - combined with colour and monochrome indicators - makes it look almost modern

Size against the other monsters is hilarious too

The first thing to do is to check if the car has headlight relays fitted as it makes a huge difference. Check it out over on Impact Bumpers.

Thanks. I do like her.

Not modern to drive though. I’d forgot about the headaches, leg cramp, laughable windscreen wipers, and mega stiff everything.

Bit of a shock to the system driving it again. But it does have character.

I’ll take a look thanks

Maybe worth having a chat with your local specialist. When I had my 964RS I had the headlights upgraded by GT One. They did a really nice job hiding the heatsinks etc. and knew the pros and cons of the different options.

These have arrived already. I’ll try and fit later. If they don’t fit I’ll just stick them in something else

Those look very nice. Even have an option for the 356

What's the spec on your 964 Pesty?

Is it Cobalt blue?

[mercedeslimos]

I stick LED bulbs in everything nowadays. On the latest car, I retrofitted universal projectors too so have led dipped and high beam (bi-xenon projector), and a second set in the full beams. Also LED front fogs and a big light bar hidden behind the bottom grille. I like being able to see in the dark, plus my commute is usually in the pitch black!

Yes cobalt blue, light grey interior. Allegedly 1 of 4 cobalt In the UK but I’m not sure about that, Just what I read somewhere. Seems improbable.

Cleaned it today first time in 1.5 years

Not bad for a 28 year old car.

Phil,

Long time since the old Rennlist Wales days out!

Were these just plug and play for the 964?

Any pictures of the front of the car with them on? Before and after would be great!

[Pesty]

Hi,

Long time. Seems an age ago.

Went with these ( see link below)as I noticed the heat sink was forward in the bulb area but there was pleanty of clearance

Not tried at night yet. Seem to flicker slightly on ignition but that seems to stop when the engine is on or maybe they warm up not sure. Don’t think it will be an issue.

Straight plug and play like a normal H4

On left is one of those night breaker bulbs that were supposed to be good. Didn’t notice that much difference with those but the LED Look significantly brighter.

Can’t help but reply to this - only yesterday a GT4 (I think?) parked next to my 993 and dwarfed it!

Same with my 993 in a car park; even parked behind a Peugeot, it looked tiny..!
