As much as I like watching paint dry, I stepped away from that for a bit to grab something from the garage. I stumbled across a couple LED strips from a defunct Robern med cabinet and got to thinking...





I'd run them on the running light circuit. They put out a decent amount of light.

What say ye?

Neat idea, but it just looks out of place, I think.

You're the only one that has to like it.

Not so fast, if yours is a concourse entity, then no, but for all guys who appreciate some new technology upgrades I like them.

Posted by: mepstein Oct 22 2016, 01:57 PM

The concours guys are not putting led's on their cars and asking for opinions. But if they want to, so be it. It's their car.

They might be a bit low there to help much with your visibility.

BTW - I like your body color treatment of the BUB there. It takes away the big black lump hex of color 914s (black 914s just blend in nicely with the BUB).

I would like to see a distance picture,..but Iam leaning to yes...FM.

Why not. You can easily take off if you don't like later.

could u make it a blinker ?

BUBs? Do you mean tits? - No, those aren't body color. When I hear BUBs (or BBBB) I think of the 75-76 bigass heavy pigs. Please edumacate me if I'm wrong.

Anyway... Looks like a pretty cool and stealthy way to add some light.

And I like the light!

Sequential directionals...

Those aren't BUBs, they're the stock-type body colored metal bumpers from a 70-72 914. They do, however, have the smaller "bumper tits" that were used on the 75-76 BUB-equipped cars, so I can see how you got that impression.

Hah! I missed that. Looks good. Are the fogs LED's also?

But to be fair, your's doesn't go all the way across the grille...

Posted by: 6freak Oct 24 2016, 08:00 AM

no thanks

Posted by: tomh Oct 24 2016, 08:32 AM

if you want bling like that buy a new car!

Posted by: Olympic 1.7 Oct 24 2016, 09:39 AM

I like it..

I have been thinking of EXACTLY this for my car sometime in the future.

I won't be running the fog lights though. I'll just put them in the non-fog grills.

Anyone do this?
Any pics?

Posted by: mbseto Oct 24 2016, 10:07 AM

This would be a stealthy way to add fogs to the grills with no fog lights at all.
