I bought the GE Nighthawk LED headlights on Amazon. They seem to always have good deals on them. Simple plug and play and so much more light than stock you will think the stock headlights were nothing but running lights. I just did a quick search and could not find them at the moment on Amazon. I did find one seller on eBay but his price is totally crazy- I think I paid less than $200 delivered for 2 on Amazon as they had a great deal at the time. Here is the eBay link just so you see the product: https://www.ebay.com/i/143742049768?chn=ps&...AiABEgKwFfD_BwE

I agree with Mark, check out Spoke's LED conversions for the tail/brake/turn signals and reverse lights. For the front his side marker LEDs and turn signal LEDs are the ticket. You really need his complete set up. He is also now offering LED fog light conversions too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I also have the nighthawks. There are deals from time to time but they are worth the $175 each price. Truly plug and play. They are supposed to last 50 thousand hours so it should be a one time purchase. I bought a second set and gave them to my dad for his Jeep Wrangler and he loves them as well.

I also put the nighthawks on my previous 914. Very nice lights -- bright, clear and plenty of reach/throw. I'd love to get another set for my current 914, but I can't find any for sale at a reasonable price. But, at the rate I'm going on the car, I have plenty of time to find a pair before it's back on the road....

Amazon has many shopping logarithms. So sometimes looking up the same product will result in different pricing.

The genuine GE Nighthawk LEDs appear to be out of production. Amazon shows they have no idea when the lights will be back in stock (and have been since June, when I last looked). There are a few sellers on ebay that have them, like the one Cairo94507 found, but not sure I want to buy out-of-production electronics with (probably) no warranty.
