    Imitation & Flattery

    Take a look at these pictures from 911 Retroworks in Yorkshire and see if anything looks familiar to you:

    Name: 65531390-3BD9-45B2-B1B6-58B4C9151A92.jpeg Views: 399 Size: 115.6 KB

    Name: 48BEC148-EF09-4ACF-8DF8-E2CF9EBCFE59.jpeg Views: 442 Size: 125.6 KB

    They state in an Instagram post ““This car features the new Hella headlight units now available on all our models.”

    These look a bit familiar given that I’ve built hundreds of sets. They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery which might have some truth to it. They build fabulous cars and I am flattered by their adoption of my LED lighting system.

    Cheers,
    John

    Agreed. Nice lights... Wheels on that car though? Not so much.

    A clarification. Those LED assemblies are my design, but I didn’t build them. I evidently “inspired” them.
