Two quick questions for the hive mind...
1. The trunk/engine compartment bulb is a bitty thing... doesn't throw out much light. On the offchance I ever *need* that light, I'm going to want as much light as I can get. My raintray is still in place, so I don't anticipate brighter being a distraction at night. The item in question is: Porsche 900.631.103.90 (12v, 4w) Sylvania 3893 OSRAM N177172 Can anyone recommend a brighter option that won't damage the small housing? 2. What kind of protective film are all the cool kids using for turn-signal lenses and headlights? These things aren't getting any cheaper and if I'm going to replace the turn signal lenses with NOS units, I'd like them to last. Thanks, Rusty |

Not terribly difficult, this or similar.
