Bummer. The foam seal makes sense. Must have gotten lost in the post.

Just a heads up for those of you that have to pass strict mot checks with your 914's is that these LED bulbs might fail the check due to poor light pattern. No amount of adjusting would get the beams low enough to avoid blinding oncoming traffic so I got a fail on both. Switched back to regular H4 halogens and the light pattern became crisp as a razor again.

Other than a high / low beam light (as the lows are hooded), the diffusion of the light is a function of the lens. We had included the EMPI lenses as they were inexpensive and had been commercially proven. The Hella lenses are $70 each. May be a viable option if you are having issues.

I have H4's but the reflectors seem to be deteriorated/flaky/moldy (the car is new to me...) and need to go. I was considering going full LED with the Truck-Lite's but can I use your LED lamps with your OEM91463110600 headlight globe or am I best to go with Hella H4 lenses - I'm betting the latter....

I'm using the EMPI ones (that we stock), and have found to be a 100% improvement over factory. The Hella lenses (my personal opinion), didn't justify spending 3-4x the amount on.
Try the Empis and if you don't like them send them back for a refund. You're only gambling the shipping cost, but I'd bet you'll like them. |

LED is the way to go. I drove dusk to dawn cross country and visibility was perfect. Will not go back. AS TO cutoff. I use the E Hella lens. Imagine a letter E pattern. I can set a severe upper cut off and still super long distance lighting.
I’ll post a picture tonight |

Do you have to use 12V relays with these bulbs/kit or is the wattage safe enough to go through the factory headlight switch?

Plug and play, the only issue can be the relay NOT getting enough wattage to trigger it. These use a fraction of the the incandescent bulbs.

Put me down for one set please. I already have Hella lenses. When/where do I pay you?
