Hi All
As you may know I need to rewire my 914/4. I've been think that whilst I doing it I may as well update it. I am thinking of running LED's all round (headlights, spotlights, fig lights, rear lights, gauges) basically the works, to try and keep the stress off the alternator and give me some proper lighting. I am also thinking of putting a USB socket in somewhere for charging phones etc. I want to keep the look as original as possible but as its not a matching numbers car and running on 16's its not original but I intend to keep it for a long time and want it future proof to a degree. I've decided I'm going to do things once now and get it right the first time. Has anyone upgraded to LED's and have any idea of what funky stuff I need in the harness to make it work? I assume its possible....! Thanks Ben |

LEDs for the 914 are available from a few vendors posting on this site.
914rubber: LED headlights and interior LED bulbs SpokeworksLED: Custom designed exterior turnsignal/brakes/reverse LED boards for the 914. Myriad of online/FLAPS general purpose LED replacement bulbs from places like superbrightLED, AdvanceAuto, RockAuto, Amazon. Caveats when changing to all LEDs: 1) Turnsignal flasher needs to be LED-compatible EP26 with C2 pin grounded. (SpokeworksLED) 2) Ballast resistor for foglight compatibility with LED headlights. (914rubber) 3) DO NOT change the GEN light to LED. It must remain the correct wattage incandescent bulb. |
