914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Porsche LED Gauge Lights

Posted by: Grimstead Mar 30 2005, 11:36 PM

I was wondering if anyone has had any experince with those 'Porsche LED Gauge Lights' you see on ebay all the time?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7965448790&category=42613

I don't really want them in color but I would like something/ anything that would make my gauges easier to read in the dark (besides a flashlight).

The down side is the LED's cannot be dimmed.

have you tried replacing your bulbs

Go here www.karstuff.com you'll find what you need at a much better price. I have yet to receive mine from them but I've seen some blue LED in a 914 looks pretty good especially in the center console. As mentionned, you can't dimm the lights.

Excellent product! Stock bulbs are marginal at best.... LED's Rock!

Note that the guy on e-bay isn't offering a direct replacement. You'll have to mess around a bit with the wiring to get it all right.

The bulbs I originally put together, which are now available on http://www.karstuff.com are a direct drop in for the stock bulbs.

My recommendation is you support karstuff.com. In the end, it's a bit cheaper than the ebay bulbs.

They DO work well.

Blue was my favorite color.

Regards,

Qarl

I've only ever torn them out....how many do I need to buy to replace the stock ones, and the three on the center-console?

Thanks for the responces...

Looks like I'll be going to http://www.karstuff.com. Now I need to pull out my gauges and see how many I'll need (I'll let CptTripps know as well).

Thanks again,
Bill
