1973 1.7 Headlight Upgrade?

Many of us in the 356 world have upgraded our light bulbs to LEDs. Much brighter and less pull on our 6v 50amp generators. My 914 headlights are pretty anemic. Any recommendations for brighter headlights?

Find any decent Jeep-marketed LED headlight. Same sealed beam. They're all over Amazon and eBay.

Yep. That’s the way to go.

if you want them to look authentic and not like a Prius try the Vintage Trader ones.

Luckily, on a 914, you really only see them when you’re driving with the headlights on. Otherwise, they are hidden. On a 911, they do look a bit odd.
