Having recently participated in an Amazing Group Buy for Spoke's front and rear LED turn signals... ( Thread here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;hl=LED+bulbs )
I wanted to round out the rest of the exterior bulbs for the car making it fully LED (not including headlights yet...) I recently finished my project and figured I'd post up info to help others that are looking to make that change as well. Its as easy as changing out the bulbs, provided the LED's are the right replacements... I used superbrightleds.com as my vendor, there are other choices, I'm not saying any one is better than another, this is only meant for a guide for those who want to skip the research portion and get 'er done. If you guys have more to add go for it... |

i replaced my instrument panel bulbs with led. yes you cannot use the dimmer but i dont think that is a problem to me. it is a good upgrade in my opinion. my problem with the regular bulbs was that they are too dim even in full strenght (ok my speedometer is 10mph off but i still want to know my rpm)

Yet to fit but know they will make a difference,got the interior light lamp a while back and very happy,thanks for the added info will be ordering more for other parts on the car. EDIT,fitted replacement metric speedo, led instrument lamps made a real difference,the lighting seems be more around the inside of the gauge housing than before. |
