914Rubber Pop Up Headlight Pushrod for Porsche 914 (All Years)
Restore your Porsche 914’s pop-up headlights with the 914Rubber Pop Up Headlight Pushrod (part number 914.750.185.11), designed for all 914 models from 1970-76. This reproduction plastic pushrod raises and lowers the headlight assembly, connecting the actuator motor to the headlight bucket for smooth operation. Two pushrods are required per car—one per headlight—compatible with 1.7L, 1.8L, 2.0L, and 914/6 models.
PMB Performance, with over 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades, stocking more 914Rubber SKUs than any other retailer. Unlike the 1970-74 metal pushrods that required separate bushings (914.750.189.10) and washers (914.750.187.10), this plastic pushrod integrates those components, simplifying installation and reducing wear, as noted on 914rubber.com. Crafted from high-strength, UV-resistant plastic, it withstands front trunk moisture and temperatures up to 160°F, ensuring reliable performance in the 914’s 12V headlight system.
A worn pushrod can cause headlights to stick or misalign, compromising visibility and aesthetics on the 914’s 1,980-lb chassis. Installation is straightforward—disconnect power, remove the old pushrod, and secure the new one with retaining clips (available separately), per 914rubber.com’s tribal knowledge wiki. Pair with the 914.750.167.10 two-hole and 914.750.168.10 three-hole backing plates for a complete refresh. Disconnect power during replacement to avoid motor activation.
