    Hi David,

    If you decide to go with your hood mounted Cibies only, I'm interested in buying your Ttg set-up for my '72 T.

    Let me know,

    Frank

    TTG fog lights or hood mounted CIBIE's

    There are NO ignorant questions.....TTG refers to auxilliary lights that are mounted to a bracket that protrudes thru the horn grill. Sorry don't have any pictures, but I'll bet someone will!

    Couple pictures of my '67 in its full meal deal configuration. My opinion kind of shifts back and forth. I always like the TTG lights, but there are times I like the look with the hood mounted Cibies and other times I like the look without them. I have an extra hood with no holes in it and I install that when I want to run without the Cibies.

    Cheers,

    i would put every light on the car all of them because in the end he who dies with the most lights wins

    IMO all the aux lights take away from the fine lines of the 911 (she weren't designed with stinken hood lights) maybe carrots would help you

    I agree with no lights above the bumper line unless they are there for a purpose (off road).
    One of the beautiful lines of the early cars is the sweep of the hood against the contour of the fenders.
    I have the lower hella 169's that I feel don't interfere with the flow.
    To me "frog eyes" are for Healyes'
