Which is better/more correct?
For a 1969 911t coupe S-Trim...H1 headlights or Cibie concave 170mm projector lenses?
The Cibies are cool and unusual with their concave lenses and they were on the car when I bought it and probably have been for 20 or more years. I have a pair of H1s that look pretty sweet...I don't know? Opinions? CIBIE:  H1:

Use the CIBIE lights for sure.
They look old school - Perfect for your 69.... (Wish I could get some for my car)

Just to make a bit more difficult...the car is a Euro version with Km/hr guage and Euro engine but indicator lights are US.

I'd use the H1 lights. For my money they work the best and they look fine on any 911, US or Euro. They look more correct on a Euro, as opposed to any light in the sugar scoops.
Did I mention they work better? JR |

Now in 993 land ...

Growing up in Europe any sealed beam headlight on a 911 looks like an afterthought to me. H1 is the way to go.
That said, this is not a very important decision as headlights are bolt on parts that can be easily changed. George |
