Default Burned out center console lights? I can help!

Just posted a couple of renewed center console light circuit boards on Ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/112512006999?

I replace burned out bulbs with new ones.

If anyone out there could use new bulbs, you can send me your board and I can replace the bulbs for $40 (free shipping)

Generic replacement bulbs.

Haven't tried the LED's yet. You have to add a resistor to the board. I find these bulbs light up the display nicely. Not too dull and not too bright.

Thanks!

I replaced mine with this LED kit. It works perfectly, for now.
Soldering (withe the help of a friend) was not that hard. Only tricky part was to position the resistors. There is not too much space and they are "big".

I'm in need of a new lower console circuit board for a C4. My car came without one. Any chance you can supply one with new bulbs?

I guess it will be a robbery, but since Porsche is providing on line the upper console, maybe they have the same for the lower one...

You can buy (Radio Shack in the USA was a source at one time...) 12Vdc LEDs with internal current limiting resistors that don't require you to fiddle around with tying pins together and placing/soldering external resistors.
