It is much brighter than the original bulb, but I do not know if it’s an LED. I don’t remember checking. One of the reviews of the replacement claims it’s an LED.

Looks like an LED when I got mine. I had a broken bulb, which is why I changed.

Mine is color...and, curiously, it just fell off a few weeks ago. Fortunately, it happened in my pocket, so I have the crest; now I just need to glue it back.

HelpMeHelpU,
Which crest is original to your car? The red or silver/pewter?

Here is a conversion DIY for those who have an interest:

Pp000830,
The link provides instructions on converting existing key lights to LED's. If the topic of the link is true, the original lights are bulbs, not LED's.
Irrespective of whether or not the key heads can, or can not be converted to LED's, I'm trying to clarify which crest is original to the car.

I really have no idea. I assume the colored one, because it's the only one I have...but of course that doesn't make it so.

Tomorrow, I will order two (2) new key heads from Pelican and two (2) silver/pewter crests. Post number 11 by 911 Pervy makes reference to the crests being different sizes.
I know that I am the only owner. I took delivery of my car and it's keys new from the dealer.
I will know which crest is original to the '95 model year upon receipt of Pelican's parts.

UNCSooners pic clearly shows the crests are different sizes/shapes, silver/pewter till about 2000 (so all 993's) then coloured with a bulb, part number ends 00, about 10 years ago the changed to LED which ends 01

If you have the front cover section of a pewter head you can swap the complete thing over easy enough, Ive probably got a few somewhere

My car is yellow with black trim and black Carrera lettering on the engine lid. I always wanted to swap out the full-color badge on my hood for a pewter & black one to match the vehicle. Unfortunately, when I priced them out they were ridiculously expensive and so I took a pass on them.

Cmon pp000830 Stay on Point!! The thread topic specifically relates to the correct color of the key crests. You are once again, just like your attemp in post #15, attempting to divert the subject matter.
Regarding your reference to the cost of changing your drunk crest, spend a few bucks.
Everyone on this site knows to put it diplomatically, you are frugal!!! Lol. Thanks for your help and valuable contributions.
P.S. I can get NOS 442 badges if you want to share them with another member???
