Just finished up changing all my dash (instrument) lights to LED. I use bright white for the main lights and the appropriate color for the warning and signal lights. Much cleaner and brighter. I also replaced a few worn gaskets. Some where actually turning brown and chalky. I also recommend removing your steering wheel. Makes the job much easier.

The lights you need can be found at superbrightleds.com. I highly recommend them. They ship super fast and sell quality lights.

These are the lights you need (B8-4D):

Cool, I like it!

DobermanDad

Thank you. I'm really pleased with the results. I also did all the dome lights and glove compartment. So much brighter in the cab.

Are these dimmable via the stock rheostat?

I have the same LEDs in my 993 dash and they are indeed dimmable

how many leds do you need to change everything?

DobermanDad

Speedo: 3 white
Tach: 2 white, 3 green
Oil: 2 white, 8 red, 1 green, 2 yellow/orange
Fuel: 2 white?, 3 yellow/orange
Clock: 2 white, 2 green, 9 red.

11 white
6 green
5 yellow or orange
17 red

You don't really need that many red because most of the clock warning light aren't used. If you take a picture of you dash prior to start up you'll see what lights are used. I ordered a few extra of each, just incase I broke any. You'll need to slightly bend the prongs on your LEDs so they'll hold onto the circuit board. You'll see what I mean as soon as you compare a new bulb to an OEM one.

It's a pretty easy project. It just takes some time and patience. Also a good time to replace your old tired instrument gaskets if they are in bad shape. I had to replace three of mine. A little dish soap help to get them back in.

I wouldn't bother with the warning lights, only the illumination lights. After all you don't want to see those most of the time.

DobermanDad

I did them. I'm picky like that though. Plus, it kinda color codes the back, so you know what's what.

I bought those and it works great. Here is a video on the installation.

Just ordered the bulbs. 65 bucks for all of them. Where did you get your gaskets?

DobermanDad

I got mine off ebay. Two I bought new, and two used.

The part numbers where listed for older 911s, but they worked fine or you can just get new OEM ones. I think they are $17 for the 80 and 100mm and $25ish for the tach.

I didn't have to replace my tach. It was still good.

Just remember to use a little water with some dish soap in it to put them back in. Much easier.

Trust me, I'll need the complete DIY when the bulbs come in.
