I also got mine today, but it will be a couple of weeks before I can try them out.

Just seeing this today. One thing you should consider is to make the side markers Red on the amber turn signal boards.

Worst experience ever is following a US spec 914 with Euro lenses slapped on over the stock bulbs at night. There is not supposed to be any amber/yellow light on the rear of the car, (except for turn signals) and that includes side markers. Just by changing the side LEDs to red you will solve this. I have about 5 red LEDs replacing my little side marker bulb and the effect is great! It lights up the whole amber turn lens red. When the turn signal amber LEDs flash the light goes from dim red to bright yellow and back to dim red. Much better than before.

Like Andy said, it's only a matter of time before someone notices, usually at the worst possible moment, ala Murphy...

Thanks for the R2 advice, just updated mine.

A couple quick notes:

- One of my brake assemblies had the T and B wires backwards (in the plug). Not a difficult fix, but just to let you know you had a QC escape.
- I had one too few of the long brake clips, one too many of the long similar turn signal clips, and three too many screws. (None of these are issues, your sizing of the boards is spot-on so they are snug fit without extra clips).
- Inserting/removing the bayonet adapters is quite easy if you jam a finger of appropriate size into the adapter and pretend you're inserting your finger. Little side guys are a bit difficult if you have big fingers, but I have had mine in and out several times whilst tinkering.
- The extra-long turn signal/marker clips benefit from a dab of silicone adhesive once everything is OK. Not too much, so you can still yank them out, but just enough to stop them from popping off.

Well that sucks about the wires. I test all of these for functionality but the high/low settings must have slipped by me. Glad you could fix it. PM sent about the clips.

BTW, I enclose a couple of extra screws with every set since these little things have a way of getting lost during assembly and installation.

I recall reading this at the start but forgot about it.
VERY NICE. I agree these look to be a must have from just the increased visibility standpoint.
When you are back from your break count me in for a set.
Thx
