What were the type / style / brand of light used for position / race number illumination on the gt 911 porsches for lemans through the 69-74 years. i sure raj / hugh / etc... will know ( or have a few nos items in the draw )

These Hella lamps were used on many of the Factory competition cars:



They were fitted as rear license plate lamps on BMW 2002 models & can still be found at Classic BMW parts stockists.

See this earlier thread for discussion:

I'm not sure. The eBay light might have been used on the roof?
Andy is correct as to the light he posted; that at least is very well known.

The Brumos & Penske '73 Daytona RSR's R3 & R4 used Lucas MG Units.

John - the one shown in your ebay link was used on the 911R as a front 'marker' lamp (sidelight):

i would believe they are the correct unit, the only photo of the yellow 72 lemans kremer car i have that barely shows it is attached and all the models / pics you see don't show the true location with race number on the passenger side rear quarter. now were can i get a shot of that side ?
