Aircooled Porsche
F-Body, G-Body, and 964
Installation
Installing your headlights is typically a breeze, with a few easy steps:
- Remove existing headlight trim (one screw at the bottom) and then the headlight itself (4 screws inside the fender)
- Test voltages at the high and low beam pins on the H4 plug in the headlight bucket with a multimeter (see diagram below)
- Plug in the H4 connector while holding the new headlight
- Hang the top of the trim ring on the lip of the fender at the top
- Align the bottom screw hole (at 6 o'clock) with the nut inside the fender
- Keeping the top side tucked into the fender lip, push the headlight in gently from all sides
- Screw in the 6 o'clock screw
Please see the video below for an example installation on a 964. Installation on F and G body cars will be exactly the same, except the H5 adapters won't be needed.
Electrical Connection:
- Prior to installation, please make sure to check voltages at the headlight sockets on your car. Previous owners may have changed connections, polarity etc. Halogen bulbs can sometimes work with wrong polarity connections, but LEDs will not. The figure below shows the correct connections for standard H4 sockets:
If you have Bi-LEDs with Halo or Matrix DRL's, you can find guidelines for connections here: Bi-LEDs with DRLs
If you have Regular LEDs with Halo, you can find guidelines for connections here: LEDs with DRLs
Fitment:
- All our headlights fit all 1965-1994 911/912/930 Coupe/Targa/Cab models
- If you have a 1987 to 1994 model 911, your harness has an H5 plug, and all you need is to add H5 to H4 Adapters.
Color-Matched Trim Rings:
If you would like to have trim rings that match body color, we offer two options:
- Custom Painted Rings
Select the “Custom Painted Trim Rings” option when placing your order. We will ship a set of black trim rings to you so you can have them painted to match your car. Once painted, you ship them back to us, and we will assemble your headlights using those rings. The additional cost covers the extra assembly labor and the shipping involved. - Primered Trim Covers
Order your headlights with black trim rings and add Primered Trim Covers that fit on all our headlights. These trim covers are ready to paint, and can be mounted or removed in less than a minute. The advantage of this option is that you can use the headlights with the black trim rings right away and have the covers painted at any time in the future. The covers also conceal the headlight adjustment screws, which some customers prefer for a cleaner appearance.
