I have had these headlights in my parts stash for a good while. Just wondering if anyone here in the Porsche world might recognize them.
Very similar to early bus/beetle headlights.
These have no mounting tab like a vw would at the bottom, also has a drain hole under the mounting hole. Adjusting screws are at 5&7 o'clock.
Just thinking they might be Porsche?
Thanks for any info

| With the driving light, they are maybe Euro, but not early 911/912. The headlight adjuster is not early 911/912 either. Don't think it is 356 either, close but not exact. The screw holes are maybe the telling feature. |

356 has the lower securing tab, these secure through the rim, like the 911 912 65-68 and look like they have a USA style bulb in them, yet the running light, that 911 912 did not have Quandary |

Might send a note to John Audette. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to headlights.
