I have upgraded lighting on a number of rides. I have learned the best thing to do is install relays and separate wiring. Porsche did a LOT of stupid things electrically....not LUCAS stupid but definitely in the top ten. I have had lousy vision most of my life, so I appreciate good lighting. I actually carry 4 stream-light flashlights due to my low light visual acuity when I travel.

People laugh but I can see....I have three LEDs on the front of my SC and use them in rural areas. I have frozen deer on the side of the road prior to them crossing. I would say my lights saved my life....big deer versus my 911? I would lose....

Parts for a vintage Porsche ride aren't getting any cheaper, so I have isolated any add on lighting and used separate switches and use a fuse that isn't used by any other circuit or accessory. I also dumped the old style fuse block and upgraded to a modern double blade fuse system available from PP.

Maybe overkill but I have replaced dead hi/lo head light switches, ignition switches and other sub standard lowest bidder Porsche accessories items.

I have seen electrical fires and melted switches. Be safe, be cool and anticipate failure from 30+ year old wiring.

Just my $.02.....
