Just fooling around with the idea of of getting rid of my dreaded Porsche window switches! These light up at night as well! Any comments ( Positive or Negative ) are welcome!

It has potential but it looks a bit outdated with the raised and exposed switches. Have you consider dropping them flush with the center console and fabricate a cover to have it all flush with the center console?

Roger,
It's an '84 928 I wanted something "period correct" for the car so, i used BMW switches from that era! I have some MBZ "rocker style" switches i am going to try with a billet look instead of the acrylic i set these switches in! That will give it a more "Modern" look hopefully.

Chris,
I think that looks very nice and I do like the period German look. I thought non-lighted switches would be a problem, but I've become used to operating them by feel, day or night. I do think you have a good idea though.

Imo000 - good point about the switches and warped consol - this is the exact problem I am having - I'm on my second pass window switch - can't figure out what is causing the problem exactly or how to fix it. The switch starts out fine, but then it only works to put the window down. It won't work to put it up again, unless I press real hard. And after awhile that doesn't work anymore either. How can this be corrected? thnx

I will never understand the dislike of the original 928 center switches. They are in the best possible spot and you don't have to look at them to use them, they are fit so well into the scheme of things that they actually disappear as part of the swooping console...AND you cannot accidentally use them unless you're just all thumbs.
