    City Lights for RoW LWB Turn Signals

    ​I mentioned earlier that I found a cache of OEM mounts for LWB turn signal city lights. I've gone ahead and devised a simple way to mount a 4w bulb in them (ground wire not shown).

    Now when you run Euro lenses you can have the proper lighting installed. Available at the AC Shop, $96.50 for the pair. These are an Audette Collection Exclusive as far as I can tell.

    Cheers,

    John,
    are Italian market lights the same as euro lights for this application?
    The Italian market signal lenses are different from euro.

    I'm not 100% sure. Here is an Italian turn signal lens:

    The fact that the lens is amber on the perimeter of the car makes me think it would have a 4w bulb there similar to the U.S. cars. Need to do a little research on this one. Anyone?

    Just verified it. The Italian turn signal sets up like the U.S. turn signal.

    ​** UPDATE **

    I changed the configuration on these and more or less mimicked the factory. They're now ready to plug n' play.

    Late 1972 and 1973 had the reflective shield and I have yet found a way to replace that. Oddly, Porsche simply ran the wire through the open housing.

    Another iteration...

    I think that's pretty close although I will probably also add an inline fuse.

    Now available here.
