Yesterday, I pulled my instrument panel on my '87 944 Turbo to replace all the burned out bulbs with LEDs. What an amazing amount of fun
to test each LED for the right polarity! Especially since you have to connect the 3 cable harnesses to test each time. But I finally got them all working... sort of.
Once I buttoned it all back together and took it for a ride, both the Air Bag and the Seat Belt lights remained on. Any ideas why that is?
Thanks - Jack

I am not sure about this but I was once told by a mechanic that the airbag light has something special going on in it that allows the system to know if the bulb is present and functioning. Possibly you cant swap that one out for an LED. And why bother anyway?

I bought the repair reflector kit from Ian down at 944Online. It was pretty easy to put on. The epoxy sets fast (~40sec), so you can't mess around.
