That's great to hear! Makes those drives at night even more enjoyable, right? I'll have some more videos up soon. Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful.
Hella is how it’s pronounced They are one of the most common and definitely the highest quality manufacturers of lighting components for all European cars. Just an FYI from a European car guy.
Thank you, question for clarification, writing HELLA doesn't really tell me HOW to pronounce it. is it "Heel-ah" or "Hell-ah" not sure what vowel sound should be dominant there. I hear both variations. And again thank you for your clarifying, I do want to get it right.
I installed LED bulbs bought from a specialist 928 supplier for my S4, so much flicker and radio static. I then installed a ferrite choke on the circuit ,no change. I ended up taking them out, but they certainly provide much better light. I'll have to find a way to solve the interference and power flicker.
I've had similar issues with the 944. Most of them were resolved by cleaning and/or adding an additional ground wire/s to various components. Most of the upgrades,and in my videos, you will note that I upgrade the wiring and ground connections. Also, as I mentioned briefly in the video, consider that there is a harness for the LED upgrade that is sold by Rennbay and Pelican parts. I'll list one of them in this reply. This upgrade might be your solution. OK, if you look along the side of the radiator support on the inside by the headlights. You'll find the ground connection for the lights. A good test would be to run the grounds directly from the battery. Make sure you use a 12 or higher gage wire. then run a test with your LEDs. Oh and you do not need to completely install the LED bulbs, simply connect them and have the grounds wires connected to battery. if the Flickering is less then you'll want to clean up your grounds or replace them with heavier gage wire. Lastly, you should also try a different brand or return the lights a try another of the same set. Sometimes it's just a bad unit or LED. Ground Loop is the enemy of Audio and power. Clean those guys up or reinforce the connections and you'll see a huge difference in how your electrical devices function in that 80s car - Good luck let me know what you find. rennbay.com/944-Headlight-Relay-Harness.html
Apologies, I made this to demonstrate the install and removal process only. Kind of a newbie at this Video stuff. I guess a before and after would have been good.
Did you ever mess with the wiring for the signals or the DRLs? I still cant seem to figure out the stupid flashing on mine. I cant tell if its just the brand I bought or if its something that needs to be changed on the car. I like the look of these great video!
I did, with the signal lights; I spliced into the positive lead of the signal lights on the bumper, from there it was just 2 spade connectors on opposite ends to tie into the headlight signal wire. For the DLRs, which I eventually decided to not leave active, I bought some "Baomain Piggyback Spade" connectors, search for that. and the DLRs worked well with the parking lights on. I tied them into the side marker's (long yellow ones on the front sides) wires. I ran them for about 2 days, but I didn't like that I had to run the parking lights too. I didn't find or consider another option to tie in to, so it ended there. And by the way, these lights are solid and bright. Love them
Gabriel Garcia perfect I will def look into those! The issue I ran into was that the White drls would flash along with the amber signals no matter where I tied into. I’ll give those a shot and it sounds to me like the lights I have might be the issue
Hey T.F.G. I went back and tied my DLRs into my car. Guess what? they flashed. Maybe it's our wiring and how the parking lights and signals interact. I'm going to do some testing next week (out of town this week) but I'll get back to you. Sorry about the bad news. Maybe I never ran them at the same time or simply didn't notice it. Apologies brother. I'll let you know what I find.
Gabriel Garcia this is perfect okay now I might be able to work towards a solution! Glad I didn’t waste any money on my lights! Hahahaha it must be the way voltage is supplied to the signals. I don’t think it’s enough to trigger the switch that shuts off the halo. Thanks for the update I’m looking forward to what else you find!
Great video thanks. Where did you get the frame that sits on top of the headlight to hold it in position? I don’t have that. Maybe you know the part number?? Thanks a lot

Great vid! Thanks so much for helping with my lights... seeing the road is pretty cool!

It’s like the second one ‘hell-ah.’

@@porsche944shenanigans3 Thankyou very much for your advice, I will definitely try out your suggestions and look at that harness.
Nobody ever shows what the beam pattern is like, most of the time it's useless. That's why I stuck with e2 lamps like Cibie or better yet my AmpliLux.
How come there aren't any pic of the lights on?

Yes, I recall your video, from your comments, it sounds like you did everything right. I would also lean towards the lights in that scenario.
