Led lights and hid/led headlight upgrade
I feel that the lights on my 1997 c4 cab are due for an upgrade. I would like to change all the interior (gauges), frunk, license plate, rear lights, side markers, etc to LED. I would also be up for the best plug-and-play headlight option. I know there are many on here that have been down this road. I'd just like to know if there is a "best" option? I don't want lights burning too hot or effecting other electrical systems in the car. Input, as usual, is much appreciated guys!

I just installed a set of the Bergvill HID headlights on my 993. The kit was absolutely "plug & play" and nicely executed. Easy to install and made a tremendous difference in light output compared to even the upgraded halogen bulbs I had. I give it a thumbs up.

While your there get the kit and make 2 more break lights. Our US cars have 2 empty sockets back there for the Euro fog lamp...he sells a kit that taps into the brakes and you will have 4 brake squares....I did it and looks great.
I would email him and tell him the year and model so you get the right bulbs for conv-hard top and so on.

Another thumbs up for Tore. I have bought several items and kits from him over the years and he has always been great!

I did the same on mine - not the fogs, though. THIS IS NIGHT AND DAY BETTER IN EVERY WAY. Run, don't walk, and order these from Tore!
PS - the biggest improvement to me is the brightness of the turn and brake lights. With such a small car, it really makes you more visible. Heck, you're visible with these even in sunshine. Far more worried about people hitting me than me hitting something - although the stock headlights are completely inadequate as well. You're probably outdriving stock lights if you drive faster than 55...

If you want to see a real difference, buy the Tore kit and upgrade the projectors in the lens with these. Big improvement

Just did mine, I had been using Tore's HiD's for awhile and saw a post about these and decided to try them. Installation is fairy easy, headlights will need adjusting after. High beam makes a huge difference. Heres a couple of pics.
