Rich, I'll come & bang a couple in, it's easy after the 1st one! A bit like loosing your virginity!

Getting lenses replated can also be a challenge. Am not sure if you can find someone that does this easily. there are a number of electroplaters in West Heidelberg area that ,may be able to assist but you would need to show them the job.

It's probably worth noting that these lights (any of these old lights) aren't really electroplated in the true sense... they're not chromed. The process is a vacuum silvering layer and is different from electroplating; and I'm not sure anyone actually does this in Australia. I have my car's original H1s and decided to refinish them by having the reflector chromed (without appreciating the difference at the time). They look 'okay' but clearly not factory and the light produced has a yellow tinge. I'm actually far more satisfied with the H4s that are in the car now - the light is superior and only us boffins recognise the difference

But I'm with you Richard, I just like the hot-rod look

Rich, Clyde has the correct drawings for the positions of mounting the lights . I can probably assist as well.

just thought of a new disease:

hotroditis
the state of being obsessed with hot-rodding your 911

I was diagnosed with this ailment some time ago
