driving lights, how many is too many?

[Kevin-Allocca]

I have purchased a set of TTG driving light from Eric Linden and now not sure I should install them. I am running the stock sugar scoops on my 68' and fog lights. I am worried that the TTG driving lights many be over the top. Before I push forward with the install I am seeking some input from this group. If anyone has all three lights installed on their car, I would love to see a photo. Thank you for your input! Kevin

Hey Kevin,
As you know I like lights.... Here's a pic of a car purchased new through my dad, photo was taken when the car was new. This car was ordered in 1970 with above the bumper driving lights, and below bumper fogs.

I luv that. A set of hood lights would make it complete.

Looks great- clean, functional...purposeful. Very German to me.

I love 'em!

My '75 Carrera (mostly built by another esteemed member of these forums).

I almost bought that Porsche just for the lights - Go forth and illuminate!

My favorite look, this was a one owner 70E that was parked in 72, man I should have kept that one....

Is it possible to be too rich, too thin or to have too many lights:

From a long-ago post . . .

. . . list of things that I will NEVER EVER defile my car with:

1) Through-the-grill- and hood-mounted accessory lights --- pustular, carbuncular, odious. The fog-lights are just precious, but does anybody really light-off their Cibie's and use them (or their car) the way they were intended? My car will see the other side of a buck-forty, but why would I want to pimple-up it's face with this mess? What's next? Dagmars and a swamp-cooler? Woof! . . .

I know-I know --- the pull to search-out/buy/stick-on 'stuff' on one's car is pretty strong . . . but my question is always? . . .

. . . is this something I Really Need (= gonna use)? . . .


. . . or is this just something I Gotta Have?



Lotsa cars have seats and steering wheels added, maybe a few special bits under the hood . . . my car does. Kinda expected. Tons o' this stuff out there, too --- from vendors more-than-happy to push it . . . and a lot of it genuine Real-Deal period/Porsche stuff, too . . .

Maybe throw-in a few interesting period bits, too, like . . . a muffler skirt, some fender trim, maybe a roll bar . . . even mud-flaps


But then . . .


. . . flairs + fenders, tails, roof racks, decals, badges, bazooka exhausts? . . . topped-off by the inevitable cluster of lights? --- = yikes!



Car as 'Christmas tree' . . .
