Installed LED bulbs in my 70 914-6. Really like their brightness. Especially these days when drivers tend to brake only after seeing a third high mounted brake light of modern cars.
I installed yellow LEDs for the rear turn signals and when operating, yellow comes through the red taillight lenses! Unexpected surprise. Used red LED for the brake lights and wow, do they pop. My question- in the front after installing yellow LED bulbs, when using a right turn-signal the left bulb also glows, though not as bright. Left turn signal works great and the right one doesn't indicate anything. With 4-way hazard lights, all operate properly. I systematically checked the grounds at each light housing. Any ideas/suggestions? Haasman |

I had the same problem when I installed my LED lights. I was getting a "ghost" flash on both sides.
you make a Y piece and install it as shown here. > http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=272915&hl= That should solve your problem. |
