I just installed the “T-LED, Porsche 993 LED kit, US”, from our friend Tore in Norway, and it is a great improvement over the stock lighting. I'm a bit paranoid about getting rear-ended, with all the inattentive/poorly skilled drivers on the roads, so this is a good deal of added protection.

The lights are all seriously brighter. The turn/hazard rear lights are now bright amber, although I have red lenses. I really like that, it is an attention getter, good color contrast with the brake or tail lights. Tore plans to offer the kit with red rear turn signal bulbs if that is preferred.

Bottom line, this is a great modification. It updates the car's lights to a more modern look and provides extra safety. The kit includes everything you need, all fully sorted, as usual with Tore’s products. See more at: http://www.bergvillfx.com/index.php/....yclisps0.dpuf

I just picked up T-light and T-OBD a couple days ago. I looked at the T-LED package too and noticed the US kit comes with side markers? And both kits include amber for the rear blinkers, that seems like an odd choice. Aside from that they sound pretty good. Do you have any comparison pictures? Pictures of the red lens/amber bulb hybrid?
If I like maybe I could add this to my order. They haven't said they shipped my other stuff yet.

Pictures don't do these bulbs justice--the glare from the lights, shooting straight into them, is just too strong. Here are some shots with the new LED bulbs on the right side, and old bulbs on the left.

The "side marker" bulbs are for the little light in the forward corner of each tail/brake/turn lens. It's a little wedge-shaped item. Visible in the third picture.

Thanks for those. I think you've convinced me. Those amber lights are quite the trip. I like amber turns but hate the lens color. This is perfect!

Really nice!

Bobby-

Lights look good. Car isn't too bad looking either

I see that you have wired up the rear fogs to the brake circuit as well.

Mind sharing what parts it takes to get those set up?

Knight

Very nice.

I wonder if anyone has used the front amber LED turn signals with clear euro markers?

Obviously not concerned about the brightness more curious if you can see the led bulb when the lights are activated, currently have regular chrome/stealth bulbs that are not visible.

btw that looks like a perfect way to setup your front license plate for NB front bumpers.

In 2000 when installing the factory RoW bumper covers the (complete) red rear lens were installed. The work was performed by PAGs Werk 1 facility. The blinkers illuminate amber though - maybe a German market detail?

I'll have a look at Tore's LED kit.

BobbyT

therossinator: Yeah, I like the total red lens, it matches the car color, but the yellow turn/hazard lights are very noticeable and contrasty when they light up.

2ndof2: I used a fog light wiring harness from a fellow rennlister tapped into the brake light circuit for the additional brake lights. Tore is sourcing a pair of red 1156 LED bulbs for me for that location. Once I install those, I should have the best brake lights available.

Knight: I don't think the LED bulbs will show the color through a clear lens. The amber color appears only when the bulb is activated. Also, the LED bulb is cylindrical, rather than bulbous, so it appears smaller.

M. Schneider

The RoW front clear lens with an amber colored traditional bulb (bulbous) can hardly be seen as they're amber color when static. Agreed, no way the chosen color of an LED could be identified ... when static.

Bobby T ..... thanks again for the coupe's lighting tip. No reason this LED mouse trap wouldn't work on other older vehicles/motorcycles. http://www.bergvillfx.com/index.php/...ed-kit-us.html

Thanks, BobbyT for the photos and explanations (wondered how it was that your rear fogs were illunitating w/ the brakes...very smart).

I've ordered a set from Tore.

M. Schneider

For those of us with the TUV required left rear fog light (dash push/pull switched) a third LED bulb is needed for a complete LED lighting enhancement; 1156 red LED.

BobbyT - Has Tore given any idea as to cost? No worries, simply added the additional LED request to the kit order.
........automotive LED's are not created equal .. lots of junk out there.

The LEDs provided are 30w Cree bulbs. Cree makes some well reviewed headlight LEDs but unfortunately not H1s, they also make a lot of AC LEDs, I saw some in Home Depot yesterday. You could buy them off the internet somewhere else, but I think Tore still has the the best prices when you buy the kit. I want to get a super bright white backup light to match but he doesn't sell white ones.

BobbyT

therossinator: I'd be interested in the source for the backup LEDs when you find them--us old guys need all the light we can get.
