OK, so I suck at searches! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I recall there being an option but not finding anything that looks factory but utilizes LED lights. I'm a little tired of messing with fussy bulbs that are dimly lit to begin with. I recently upgraded my driving lights to LED and WOW - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Needless to say I'm hooked on bright lights and my car will never be a show concours winner so why not. However, it at least has to look somewhat stock! Photo just for fun. One light LED one not so much Thank you for your consideration ![]() |

Spoke's LED boards are incredible. Top of the list is to do the brake lights first. They improve visibility to others 100%. The Euro style front indicators let you run them as you daytime driving lights when you don't want to flip your headlights up.

The Euro style front indicators let you run them as you daytime driving lights when you don't want to flip your headlights up. I modified the fog lights to be on full time as driving lights. All bulbs other than the alternator and heating control have been replaced with direct replacement plug-in LEDs. Much of my motivation was DC current availability with a new AC system installation. Two large condenser fans require about 9A each. Reducing power requirements elsewhere helps compensate. I'm planning to add a couple diodes to turn on all markers from the modified fog light controls. The car will be fully lit other than lifting the headlights at all times while driving. |

I'm planning to add a couple diodes to turn on all markers from the modified fog light controls. The car will be fully lit other than lifting the headlights at all times while driving. I changed the running lights to always be on when the key is ON. Used a relay to power the running lights so the running light power did not go through the ignition key. The relay connection is described here: DRL on a 914 If you decide to use diodes to power the markers, make sure the diodes are schottky barrier diodes. They have much lower on voltage than standard silicon diodes. |
