I have finally sourced and confirmed production of LED replacement bulbs for the backlighting of the gauges. I am getting my test set early next week and I will post photos of their effectiveness.
They will be compatible with the varying voltage of our electrical system, but will most likely not have brightness control with the headlight switch. But, we want brighter gauges, right? No more yellowish lighting! They will last longer and be cooler as well. The good news is that they are wide angle (due to the inverted lense on the top) and they diffuse light sideways instead of straight ahead). Cost should be reasonable, per bulb. $2.50 or so. If there are 5 bulbs for lighting in the set of 3 gauges, it should be pretty good bang for the buck! It will still take 45 days or so to get the bulk quantity order in, so I won't take orders yet. But I want to let you know they are coming? (IMG:http://www.my914-6.com/porscheba7s.jpg) (IMG:http://www.my914-6.com/red.jpg) (IMG:http://www.my914-6.com/blue.jpg) I can also get yellow and green, but I don't think the demand will be high enough for these colors. I have also inquired about having reasonably priced 55 watt Halogen fog light bulbs with the correct base made for the factory fog lights assemblies. I am awaiting the price quotes. These will fit in the stock housing and wil be significantly brighter than the stock 35 watt bulbs. These used to be available from a company in England for around $30 a pair or something, but supposedly aren't available any longer. When pricing and functionality are confirmed, I will post my usual thread and take orders. If you think you may be interested in any of the LED or foglight bulbs (and you have'nt responded to one of my earlier posts), add your name here and what you would be interested in. Also in the works... Tail light lense seals (easy to get made) Tail light housing seals (working on it). What do you think about these??? |
