Anyone install Audette JW Speaker LED headlights?

On a 964?

Any tips for install? How did it go?

Thanks!

No one done these yet? Mine are on........but not correctly. Headlight ring WILL NOT snap over headlight bucket lip, so they aren't as secure as they should be. I think they look good, and they certainly light up well, but they are useless if they don't fit.

Your post made me curious about these lights so I found the thread. There was some mention of having to bend some of the tabs in the fender bucket.

They look great, btw.

Why LED? Bi-Xenon outperforms them with ease:

Thanks Salty. The tabs were bent all the way back flat. The issue is with the rings shaping over the buckets. Apparently the bucket needs to be worked to fit the rings.

Why LED? They are plug and play and still perform much better than even the highly regarded H4 lights.
