Hi everyone,
I make the 911R parts for the 911 guys, AR Concepts. I was asked by a few people now to make 911R style tail lights for the 914. It's a lot of work to get the first set out so I'm asking before I start. What do you guys think? Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Mike Swanson http://members.cardomain.com/911r_parts |

Hey guys I got a set of Mike's 911R rears from MotoMotions. Let me first say that the quality is FIRST RATE!!! Mike knows what he's doing and takes pride in his work.
As far as the lights, I strongly recommend you go with LEDs. I found a set at my local truck stop that were 6 bucks apiece and look VERY much like the original Hellas. But they are way brighter and draw way less current than the original incandescents. They are made by Maxxima. Here's one linky. http://www.buytruckstuff.com/s_product_gp....?selcategory=34 If you search under "LED marker lights" (that's what the truckers know them as) you'll find them all over the web... They are sealed, never wear out and come with really nifty waterproof connectors. However, they are only one set of elements (thus only on/off), so if you want to do what I did and have one set be bright for brakes and dimmer for running then you need to cobble up a voltage regulator and wire it to hook up to the existing wiring. I would be happy to help you do so or maybe I can make up some kits if anyone is interested. I'm an EE so this might be easier for me to do than someone not so inclined....Email me at areed@hachultra.com if you want more info. Adam912 Out '66 912, 475K miles, 2.2L T4 power WOO HOO!!!! |
