One last item I have wanted to address with my car is the headlights. Specifically, I have the US spec sealed beam style lamps with the "oversize" trim ring and I have always preferred the cars with the Euro spec H4 lamps, so I decided to make a change.
While I was at it, I decided to try an LED conversion as well so I bought and installed the Rennline EL13 conversion kit. Unfortunately, the car just doesn't look right to me with these lights.
So I decided to buy the Porsche H4 headlight assemblies (p/n 911-631-113-00), the Porsche headlight trim ring (p/n 911-631-141-00), H4 halogen bulbs, small light bulbs, etc. When I got the parts from our forum sponsor I wasn't sure how everything was supposed to go together so a short thread asking for guidance (see link below) yielded a bounty of valuable information including a suggestion to use the thin fender to headlight seal (Porsche p/n PCG-631-115-00 formerly 644-631-115-00). The H4 headlight assemblies fit much better with the thin seals than they did with the thick headlight seal.

Thick seal:
Thin seal - headlight assembly fits better:
I made up some wiring pigtails to bring parking light power to the small light bulbs in the H4 headlight assemblies.
H4 headlights installed with the parking lights on.
US spec to Euro spec headlight conversion completed.
