Great video: the open chip type bulbs are fragile and you can get shorting: I used glass enclosed led bulbs, which have no exposed chips and also a more even light pattern, like the original incandescent, avoiding the need to fiddle about with orientation. Having gone to the trouble of pulling out the clocks, I also changed the other bulbs : indicators, full beam, oil etc. Best to use an led bulb of the right colour for these but DO NOT CHANGE THE RED IGNITION BULB to LED; this must remain a traditional bulb with a higher current draw, to give the right feedback to the alternator .
Did this same upgrade for my 86' Coupe. This has been one of the best upgrades I have done...
I enjoy your videos. They are very methodical and they stick to the point without drama and hyped up "music". I have a couple of ideas for future videos for your consideration if you are interested.
Sometimes it' the small things like this that make the driving experience better. My PC security software is throwing warnings on the link to the bulbs provide.
I usually turn my gauges down to the minimum when driving at night if I can so I can see the road. I would like brighter headlights, however.
I have done the LED change in my 71 911S/T, and not a huge difference.
Can the new LEDs be dimmed
