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 |

Martin,
Just to be 100% clear, with the Euro setup, when running with the lights on, the bottom part should be constantly lit, and the top part should ONLY light up when the turn signals or emergency flashers are activated, correct? What do you mean by "remove the 5 watt side of the 1157 bulb before installing it." ? That Camp914 kit is very neat. |

I'm sure they can be wired either way and maybe I did mine wrong but the bottom and top are lit when the headlights are on. T |
