Testing some Instrument LED

[Neilnaz]

Draco, that is cool. I had a grommet filled hole just below the Trip counter reset which was aching to be filled with something useful. The 2 wires go from the pot via a 5A fuse to be in line with the Blue/Black wiring just at/before the star point. No (new) holes in dash and no cutting/splicing of wiring. I can remove simply.

Cheers, Neil

I just purchase a set LED lights from Engelbert's website. I can't wait to get them install in my car.

Does anyone know of some good LED lights for the exterior lights, e.g. tail-lights, indicators, reverse...etc?

[JV911SYDNEY]

has anyone come up with plug and play LEDs for 964 & 993 yet?

mochaearth,

I bought "Philips (12899RX2) Red P21/5W LED Exterior Bulb" for the rear brake lights from Amazon. I also got a Hella LED third brake light from Daniel Stern. With so many people driving SUVs it's a good idea to get the third brake light closer to the eye level of the driver behind you.

I also got "1156-WHP28-T: Cool White" for the reverse lights from SuperBrightLEDs dot com. That was a huge upgrade.

The issue with the turn signals is you have to change the turn signal relay because of the lower voltage the LEDs draw.

I emailed Rothaus via his website and never heard back. Is he still selling these LEDs?

Yes, I still sell the LED's. When did you e-mail me ?

PM here, or post works also.

Cheers

Installed a set of the Vintage White, a marked improvement.

Thanks for the quick response.

I really need to do this. Currently at stage 3:

stage 1 research LEDs
stage 2 order LEDs
stage 3 leave on parts shelf for six months
stage 4 install LEDs
stage 5 post on here.

Oh, the number of projects that are at stage III. I honestly think there's a hidden time/urge sump located somewhere in my garage the causes this to happen. . .

Night....



And Day... difference. Same camera, same lighting conditions, no flash on either one.



I installed these several months ago but seeing this thread on the main page reminded me to post pics. I've driven at night and they aren't too bright but I think I'd go with the classic if I were to do it again. Money well spent all in all.

Can't we change the range of the factory POT with a parallel resistor?

Pro tip: don't put the beer fridge in the garage if you really intend to make progress

Ohhhh, I thought it was 6 years...I'm on step 3 but misread the rules.
I wish I was joking, but my project has been on hold for 6 years...time flies!
Time to motivate this winter and make some progress.

Rothaus,

Order placed for Vintage white with blue and green.

Rothaus, I am interested in a set of Red LEDs with high beam indicator in blue and green TS indicators. Do you offer them, I didn't see them on your site. Thanks

I don't have them in RED, only Bright White and Vintage White. Sorry

The turning signal indicator bulbs are different, they are not BA7s. See below.

I bought a set of Engelbert's instrument LED's in vintage white. The install was very fast and the difference is amazing! Thanks Engelbert for a fine product!

[JmuRiz]

BTW I don't think Engelbert sleeps....
He has a million projects going on at once and they are all making progress.

[SweetWaterSurprise]

I put in an order for a set of these in bright white. Looking forward to getting them in.
