Post by GeeBeeMan »

currently contemplating 'Chinese' LED nighteyes (I think they are called)......from a popular well known auction site :lol:

but head says one thing and heart says another. I read of dash warning lights and scorched lamp lens stories etc etc

If you mean headlamp bulbs, I'd recommend Osram Night Breakers. Same wattage as the standard bulbs, but produce a considerably whiter, more intense light. Osram claim 110% more light.

for LED I would give woodypeck a look, hes been doing porsche upgrades for quite a while, but please be aware that with the changes in the MOT rules LED's may fail your car.
