Hi Jim,

I'm new to these forums..love what you did to your headlights/mod and want to do something similar...
question: where did you get those (Omega from your pics?) clear headlamp lens?

Thanks in advance

Same here...

I bought some lenses that were suggested (a VW application) but they dont fit my housings or the trim rings. They were Omega (Bought for like $8 from a VW parts site)...

Of course my 911 has H5 headlamps, so maybe I need to backdate the headlamps to make all this work. Hmmm

Can H1 or H4 lens be used instead of the clear ones in the kit?

Hi

Great install, a couple of questions how did you cut the front glass from the lens bowls? and how did you cut the hole in the lens bowl?

Those look awesome.....
