Three years ago when LED headlights started being offered for 914 I bought a set from Vintage lighting. This week The driver side headlight started blowing a fuse every time the lights were turned on. I switched out to a sealed beam light and it works fine. So that LED bulb must’ve gone bad. I looked at the $99 replacement bulb set at 914 rubber and there’s a statement that says if you have fog lights be sure and add a load to make them work. So if I go that route how do I add a load? I am also considering buying the new complete LED 7” headlight set that says plug and play as an entire unit. Will I run into the same problem with that unit?

Fogs have always worked OK with the early LEDs. Since the old seal beam unit works fine I don’t see a short. Also since yours do not have the large ballast it’s a much easier installation. That was a wiring mess. At $99 I think I’ll take a chance on yours. Thanks.
