Which headlight is this?
Can you tell me which headlight this is?
And what is needed to make the other side exactly the same? ![]() ![]()

Looks like a standard Bosch h4 --https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/91163111300.htm?pn=911-631-113-00-OEM&SVSVSI=0811&DID=12453

To make them the same, remove and toss that crap H4 and get a manly set of H1s in that longhood.

Perfect timing (no affiliation): Bosch H1 Headlight Pair
Although those repros linked to above look pretty sweet (and cheaper). Mark

Yup. Somewhere on the 101 is a nice headlight for a 911 being run over by an 18 wheeler.

Rescuer of old cars
|
Looks like the car has the later thick rubber seal, which makes it difficult to get the headlight properly mounted. Make sure you get a pair of the correct early-style thin seals and replace the other one too.
Nothing really wrong with H4s. I had them in my '84. But I have the above mentioned H1 repros in my '72. I like that the high and low beams can be adjusted separately, and also that H4 for Porsche were not released until 3/72, so H1s are "more correct" for earlier cars. The repro H1s from Auto Foreign are awesome, look like jewelry!
