RE: 87 Turbo II's update thread.
Maybe later down the line. But I'd have to find out what's in my 3rd brake light. It would be embarassing if my tails lit faster than it. I do LOVE the tradeoff of LEDs. [/align]

RE: 87 Turbo II's update thread.
i got LED reverse lights, and led parking lights on my 3.
i tihnk the parking lights cost me about $28 each, and the reverse lights were $20 each.
but they were so worth it, and all you do is remove the halogen bulb, and insert the led one, and your done!
no rewiring at all.
and ~$60 isnt that bad at all. also, led's are brighter, and of course, they turn on and off faster too.
the one thing i like about em, is that they instantly go on.
think of it this way. when you signal, the light quickly turns on, then off. but you can see it fad on and off.
with led's, its just on and off.

RE: 87 Turbo II's update thread.
Kind of agree w/you there 87. I was behind a BMW a coupla' weeks ago that had LED turns and I wasn't impressed one way or the other.I could take or leave them.
BTW:I wouldn't be surprised if your "3rd" had a 194 or 2 (or equivalent) in it.
