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

And you can actually see them. Spoke LED’s are the way to go.


I agree, the spoke works LEDs are great. I have them all around. Just need to save some pennies to get them for the 911.

Just as a point of reference these are pictures are of the real deal that are in my 6

Very nice paint on those housings.

I posted a picture of my 914 with LEDs a couple of posts before. Your picture reminds me to mention that the large LED board does not fit in OEM Euro front light housings. The large board only fits on US-type housings.

Clay had sent me a couple of Euro housings in the hope I'd do some LEDs for it.

The turnsignal part of the Euro LED should be no issue. The white light part is the most challenging as the dividers really cut down on the space available.

Here's a set of Euro white LEDs that I made. The board doesn't sit down as far as I hoped but looks like it should fit. I was able to jam 24 LEDs and as is shown with the larger board, it has 42 white LEDs. My early white/amber boards also had 24 white LEDs.

Even the bulb base connector with the little handle is too tall and the 7 inch wire I usually use is too long and tends to pop the board back out.

@ClayPerrine

Clay, would you want to try out these LEDs? I think they'll fit but it need to be tested out.

Sure.. I am happy to test them. But that is the only set of Euro turn signal buckets I had, so you would have to send them to me. I can put them on the six for testing because my big conversion six is not running at this time.

WIZARD stuff, Jerry! I am in awe of your multitude of skills. Thanks for sharing that backstory on your own LED innovations in this context! MOST important to know that the commercially available LED boards don't fit the Euro turn signal housing (only the US version)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
