Having recently participated in an Amazing Group Buy for Spoke's front and rear LED turn signals... ( Thread here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;hl=LED+bulbs )
I wanted to round out the rest of the exterior bulbs for the car making it fully LED (not including headlights yet...) I recently finished my project and figured I'd post up info to help others that are looking to make that change as well. Its as easy as changing out the bulbs, provided the LED's are the right replacements... I used superbrightleds.com as my vendor, there are other choices, I'm not saying any one is better than another, this is only meant for a guide for those who want to skip the research portion and get 'er done. If you guys have more to add go for it... |

GREAT thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Curious question to electrical engineers out there: how much does having all LEDs change the load on the circuits, battery, and alternator? I had to replace my alternator last month. I use the 914 to commute, and was bummed I didn't have time and funds to go from a 55amp alternator to a 75 or greater. I drive in the dark with the radio blasting, headlights and foglights, so draw lots of current (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Will all LEDs benefit my old car by putting less stress on the 55amp system? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) FYI - I am running the GE Nighthawk LED headlights linked in the thread above, but all other lights are currently "normal."
