We recently fitted some LED headlights to a 3.2, which proved a welcome antidote to another one of Melbourne’s foggy winter mornings.
LED headlights can be fitted to early 911’s up to and including the 964. Fitting these older Porsches will LED headlights delivers a much brighter and whiter light and can create less draw on your vehicles electrical system. The only down side is the throw distance can be a little bit shorter that the traditional halogen lights, which could be more important than brightness if you’re regularly giving your car an intense night time work out!?
Whilst we were fitting the LED headlights we also added some LED bulbs to the dash lighting to better illuminate the instrument readings. This change made a significant improvement to the readability of gauges, which is most helpful to those of us who’s eyesight is not what it used to be.
Converting to LED interior lights and taillights on older model cars is also growing in popularity.
To give you an idea of costings – the LED headlight changeover for the 3.2 was $285 including parts and labour, and the converting of the dash globes was $320 including parts and labour.
