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 |

QUOTE I think in your last pic, it looks like you have the plastic piece pushed way down in the housing, so there is a big gap between the plastic piece and the turn signal lens. Optical illusion? There is a lot of room to push the plastic piece down. Mine is near the top but not hard mounted there. My 4th picture is with the headlights all the way on (no key in or motor on so the headlights don't come up). I think that is why the euro and parking/flashers are all on. T |

T Yeah, I think if you push the plastic piece down, there is going to be a lot of light bleed between the two chambers, kinda killing the effect. Seems like it should be secured up as close to the lens as possible to keep the bleed to a minimum. The way you have it wired now, when you are running the car normally with the headlights on, does the top amber chamber stay totally dark, only going on when the turnsignal or emergency flasher is activated? |
