Hi all,
I haven't been around much lately. Maddie is a few days shy of 6 months old now and slays me daily with her two-toothed smile. Hope all is well in a good new year with my 914 friends. While continuing to procrastinate 914 winter projects (ignition and exhaust) that will keep my car off the road come spring, I'm warming up by installing my Euro front turn signal lenses and Camp914's splendid Euro turn signal kit, available here in the Member Vendors forum. This is what you get in the kit: I started by removing my nearly flawless US lenses. The seals are nice and pliable. The chrome inside the bucket has a couple blemishes but still has a nice shine. The top screw gave me a hard time and I found what looks to be solder or something near the tip. I tried to gently pull out the bucket, and to push it gently from the inside, but it didn't want to budge. Do I just need to use more force and push it out? Or maybe I'm missing something? Thanks, Dan |

To reinstall the bucket, I had to turn the rubber boot inside out in order to have enough slack on the wires to connect to the appropriate terminals.
I don't see how you could install this without removing the bucket. The blue double spade connector feeds the added bulb from the side marker light circuit. Hopefully Craig or someone else in the know will comment on the orientation of the bottom piece. I tried it in just about every position I could think of and this way had the best fit. It gives the new bulb the same outward facing orientation as the upper turn signal bulb. I definitely want to paint the plastic pieces silver. The white is quite visible through the clear part of the lens. |
