Default TURN SIGNAL LED UPGRADE?

Did a search but couldn't find info on doing an LED upgrade to the front and rear turn signals, back up lights etc. I have done this on a couple BMW 2002's and needed a resistor to keep the flashers working.
Anyone made a turnkey kit for this with bulbs and resistors ?
Alternatively a list of parts and sources?
Thanks

Trying to get it figured out...with the smoked front turn sigs and we are going to smoke the rear taillight panel too...will need more brightness. Of course you will see it ...

JDM Astar on eBay. I can't say enough good things about them. Best LEDs I've found and good price too.

For the front turn signals get them in yellow.

I think Tore is probably the best bet, I went the ebay route since anything was an improvement over the old bulbs.


Spent a little too much time on ebay and got some LEDs to swap out. I didn't want to spend way to much money so I didn't go for the best of the best, but even then the difference is outstanding. Did the front turn signal, rear sidemarkers, rear brake bulbs, rear sidemarkers, and rear turn signals.

I've replaced all my bulb except the headlights with LED's from Tore. High quality products including a turn signal relay. Much brighter light all around, which is a safety thing on both track and road. LEDs for the license plate also looks a bit more modern.

Does the bergvillefx 993 kit fit 964s?

A kit would be nice.

Thanks

I contacted Tore Bregvillfx and he said he didn't have a kit for the 964 but could assemble one if I told him each of the bulbs, what did you guys order from his website? Does the 993 kit work in the 964 and what about if you have cruise control?

I sent him an email that I wanted a kit for my 964. He told me to order a 993 kit and then he had my note for that order. I just had to check which type of socket my turn signals had. There are two types, one with the "****" on each/opposite side of the socket and one with the **** 2/3's apart.
