914 Front Turn Signal Assembly European conversion kit, Auto Atlanta part number 9146438 Options

[Jezibel]

OK, guys. Here we go again. I just bought the AUTO ATLANTA 'Euro Turn Signal conversion assembly', which is a set of two bulb holders made from stock aluminum sheeting and bent to (supposedly) conform to the lower section of the US type turn signal assembly housing. After quite a bit of trying to make them fit, I finally gave up and am turning to the forum (once again) to find out exactly what's going with this supposedly "...easy conversion set that has satisfied thousands of Auto Atlanta purchasers"...?

It's pretty clear that however they are supposed to 'easily fit' the turn signal housings, they absolutely do not. Any help with this annoying matter would be most appreciated. Frankly, I'm starting to get a teensy bit irritated with some of the items I've gotten from AUTO ATLANTA (including a pricey replica 914GT double grill engine cover that was rather hastily and sloppily put together), recently.

Nuff sed, but any insights on this would be helpful...

You could always go LED and just drop these boards in. No cutting, no crimping.

I confess I did consider that LED system, since they are VERY visible (and that's the whole point of turn signals (especially when you are only 48 inches tall, so to speak and surrounded by big, mean hunks of pickup and SUV metal!). However, I thought I'd try to stay with the OEM type system (perhaps a mistake, upon further thought). We'll see how things go once the new housings arrive.

I do note that there was some comment about having to match the LED boards electrical feed on one's car at their website but I forget what the specific context of that comment was at the moment.
