Yes I am well aware of what Google is.. and I found all those links before I posted a question, none of which relate to a 991 illuminated door sill install.

Installing the sills is easy, wiring them up is my main concern.

Contact the Rennlister (Bigkraig) via PM, and see if he can tell you more. GL.

Sorry to revive this thread, did you manage to get the installation instructions for your 991?

Sorry to bring up an old thread
Before I call the dealer, I was wondering if anyone has the DIY instructions for putting these CF illuminated door sills in a 991 /981 GT car ?
Thanks in advance

I dont mean to revive an old thread, but I’m hoping someone can help out.

So i removed the old sills on my 991.2 TTS and installed the new ones, but am having difficulty wiring the harness. The harness is routed near the fuse box of the front driver’s seat, but I don’t know how to remove the front seat and plug it in. When i tried to splice it into the door light fuse, the sills dont turn off when the door closes.

Ive tried making a thread on here and looking at older installs, but none address my specific issue.

Crazy Eddie

didn’t this list help you ?

I went over that, but since I’m a rookie at this stuff, I didn’t know how to remove the front seat. That requires another manual I couldn’t find

Remove seats are easy.

Tilt seat forward, slide seat all the way forward. Remove plastic cover on rails.
use a E-12 torx (find on amazon) remove bolt from both rails.
slide seat far rear, remove plastic cover and front two bolts.

disconnect battery, let sit fro 5 minutes. While you wait. Rock seat and cover rail ends with cloth.

get a buddy to help remove seat, heavy and wire harness needs to be disconnected. Harness plug, pull on tab and then slides apart.

to reinstall, after front bolts are in, then connect battery. This way you should have no airbag issue.
