    959 Headlights

    I have an inquiry from a 959 owner who is interested in improving the lighting produced by his headlights and I’m looking for information. What is the configuration of the stock headlights, are they recessed round 7”? If you could point me in the right direction or provide some information I would be most grateful.

    Cheers,
    John

    You might call Wayne Dempsey, John... IIRC he owns one, and of course Canepa has one (or two).

    Last one I saw in the flesh had projector headlights.

    Thanks for the input. It looks like they used H5 assemblies which would work well for the JW Speaker 8700 LEDs that I use.

    BTW, Wayne has a new project - http://dempseymotorsports.com/ I don't know if those are place holders on there or if he has them in inventory but they're very impressive. This could be fun!

    Cheers,
