    Thru the grill driving lights/1971 911T

    I have a question for the experts and would appreciate any help. Having studied the various threads, I remain confused. What would be the correct driving lights(round) thru the grill for a 1971 911T. I am considering putting those onto my car.

    Thanks in advance.

    TTG Driving Lights

    Car was built about April or May 1971(CofA does not have the date but a thread in the forum earlier this year helped me to approximate the build date). Car was delivered to southern california and has the "comfort" package or S option package.CofA calls this the "Comfort Package for 911T".The CofA also lists "US Equipment" under the Optional Equipment section of the CofA.If helpful, VIN is 9111102530.

    Ok, Theoretically there's no driving light (called additional main beam light in the parts book) for the US delivery cars. It's US type fog lights only.

    however....
    I've personally purchased from the US dealer the Hella 118 H3 bulb type driving lights with clear lens. The only other one I'm aware of is the Italian H1 bulb type, and the yellow lens H3 bulb type for France.

    Feel free to mount the h3 driving lights Hella 118's... Michael's not going to be a concours judge anytime soon. (and I'll give you a pass when I'm judging).

    Here's what you want...

    If I may tag onto Chris' question... What are the lights shown below? They are on a very original 41K miles 69T formally owned by Fred Meyer, salesman extraordinaire in Bellevue, WA. He of course had ready access to the parts catalog and so I'm thinking they are in that respect "correct"? BTW, he picked me up in that car when I went to take delivery of my first new car back in 1978. Thanks.
