I only have access to my car on the weekends - I'll make measurements next Saturday.

Does anyone know how Englebert's LEDs behave when the dimmer is used? Wonder what voltage range is swept?

I have not measured the voltage, however, I noticed that between the 71, the 82 SC, and the 87 Carrera the bulbs dim different. I think that these light switches getting old and therefore not consistent. They work may on the standard bulb OK, but not the same when the LED's are installed.

Looking forward to the option with the PMW. That would be a nice addition to the LED's, if complete dimming is needed.

Here is a video from the installed LED's in a 914 dash. It has a good range of dimming.



Cheers
Engelbert
