Hey all,
My one (and only) complaint with my 914 is that the dash lights are very faint and very hard to see at night (speedometer, etc.). Someone told me that brighter LED bulbs are available. Is that correct? If so, can someone provide me with: 1. What bulbs? 2. What source to buy them? 3. How many do I need? 4. Are they direct replacements (i.e. no other modifications need to install them) 5. To replace them, do I take out the 5 or so screws on the dash faceplate to access them? Thanks, guys! |

I had the opportunity to use the products from carmagic (both LEDs & trim rings) & had a less that favorable experience from both the products & the customer service. FYI

I had the opportunity to use the products from carmagic (both LEDs & trim rings) & had a less that favorable experience from both the products & the customer service. FYI I used Carmagic LEDs for my gauges as Timothy was backed up. So this was a cheap and easy alternative. I am quite happy with the results and customer service. Are they as bright as a LED strip? Heck no. Do they look as cool as a LED strip? Heck no. Are they way better than stock? Of God yes! Sorry you had a poor experience with them though |
