You could not use these on an RS unless you changed to a standard bumper. My personal opinion is that these are more rare than the 118 lights since they were not allowed in the US, but I think anything over 1,000 would be a bit high. The only cars you can fit these on have standard bumpers, which would exclude 99% of the high end early cars that could justify/absorb the higher costs. I think rarity is one thing, but it also has to go across the board with fitment like sport seats. GLWS

Good points: I'd thought about later "S" bumpers and the RS too. Also, you're right, I should not have listed RS or Carrera in my title but one can not change the title of an ad, or I would.. Still, there were a lot of stock Porsche 911s made from 1969 to 1973 that would use these lights. And also, I agree, rarity does not make lights, or a Porsche itself for that matter, valuable. Those points well-taken , I'll not sell these rare NOS lights for $1,000. Thanks.

PS Have you seen the prices of "standard bumper" cars these days !!!????

Rare and valuable are not the same thing. If that were the case my 1973.5 with a 4-speed would be worth a whole lot more money. When was the last time you saw a 4-speed long hood?

One of the last 4-Speed long hood 911S's I saw was my totally stock 1972S with one option: TTG Fog Lights. Thanks.

As a member of the target demographic, I have to agree that the price (in general, not just yours Allen) of these lights is too high to justify the purchase. Certainly for a driver+ car like mine. And if your interest is in concours, then I don't think these lights were available for US cars (I certainly may be wrong about that).

One thing there is no debate about -- your '72S above is beautiful!
