    and how do you " mount" the divider on the little tits glue, grinder, steak it, swage it (whatever that is) What? and then where does the wire connector go?

    There's no pressure on it of any kind so I think silicone suffices. The wire attaches where the U.S. city light contacts used to attach.

    As contacts there are no longer needed I use them for the Euro city bub mounts (love the circular nature of that). The factory used white wire that it ran along the inside bottom front of the housing and secured at one point with a dab of something or other.

    Ok, so I'm reading this thread thinking that I'm one of those terrible owners who is running the Euro lens with out the Euro split. Yes, it bothered me. But I like the look better than all that orange. And, gasp, on my 73, I put on earlier chrome grilles and chrome/rubber bumper guards. It's what a 911 is supposed to look like to my eyes.

    Then I get to the end and see that John made the separators! Just ordered. Thanks John.

    Thanks Jay. I do think that it looks a lot better without the amber bleeding in and with the correct bulb lit up there.

    I'm running very low on these and I don't know if I can get more or not. I'll post here if I do.

    Do I see part of the divider showing a triangle part of the divider showing through the lens? Is that how you would see a real Euro light? And the wire hooks on top of the red wire already there on the contact? You show it disconnected. Chris

    The metal pieces are Porsche OEM parts.
