Hello
In the interest of safety I am looking for LED replacement lighting for the
1993 965 and my 1999.5 VW Golf. The VW has a rear centre brake light that is LED's, but its side brake lights are standard bulbs, the Volvo uses standard bulbs everywhere. I want to at least upgrade the brake lights to LED's as they light up quite a bit faster then normal bulbs.I am worried about the light not scattering correctly in my reflectors - is this a concern?
Does anyone know of a source for these lights, or know of anyone who tried this modification before?
I am actually more worried about faster acting LED brake lights on the VW (and have posted in the correct group for it as well) - it's my daily driver (diesel TDI... good fuel economy) and I have upgraded the brakes on it... so I tend to stop a little faster then some people on the highway if there is a slowdown (I've seen some cringing faces in my rearview mirror - then I have to reduce my braking inputs by modulation of the pedal).... so whatever helps my car be seen would be great... I have read that on the highway the difference in the faster reaction time is a noticeable/usefull span of quite a few meters of road travelled... The reasons for upgrading the Volvo would be the same - plus it's a Volvo, gotta try to make it as safe as possible ;-)... Think I might wire up the fog lights as brake lights too if I get LED's for it :-)...
