It seems like it comes complete to avoid buying multiple parts to make your own.

If I recall, another guy spent $120 doing this.

Awesome. This is something I was looking for. Thanks for the post.

That is a good price but to do this right you'll need to change the bulbs in the CCU, radio, and the switches in the center console.

so these actually work with the 993's? i read another post last week that the led's didn't fit. i will look for that link. if these work, i'm getting some

I emailed the company yesterday and asked them if they guaranteed the leds would fit straight into the 993 instruments [speedo, tach fuel, pressure, clock] as the OE ones do -without any modification.
Their response - YES.

Anyone know if the dimmer will still work ? I would also like to change the remaining bulbs to LED's, someone has to try this out and report back

How do you replace the lights in the radio ? Mine are out?

They worked as described. One strange thing was that a few lights had to be put in a certain way for them to work. Almost like a positive negative issue.

Just make sure you test by touching the light tabs on the outside before committing to save time and confusion.

I still need to do my rpm gauge, because I can't wiggle past the steering wheel and dash.

Dimmer still works!!

led's are polarity sensitive..............................

As with all diodes, current flows easily from p-type to n-type material.[71] However, no current flows and no light is produced if a small voltage is applied in the reverse direction. If the reverse voltage becomes large enough to exceed the breakdown voltage, a large current flows and the LED may be damaged. If the reverse current is sufficiently limited to avoid damage, the reverse-conducting LED is a useful noise diode.

Got it. How do you tell by looking at the bulb?

One disappointment was the clock came with different bulbs and aren't as bright.

just by looking at the led, you can't tell the polarity.

trial and error.

you said, "One disappointment was the clock came with different bulbs and aren't as bright."
how are the clock leds different?
did you ask why they were not as bright as the others?

yeah....me too

Are these LED brighter than the factory bulbs? How much brighter?

Hi friends.
Better removing the steering wheel to take out the tachometer otherwise you may damage the tachometer's outside ring (you may not see it but a dent is there) and remove the steering is quite easy.
I think heat is a big issue if you want to use super bright LEDs.
NEVER turn ignition key ON if air bag is out. If you do that will cost you from $30.00 to $100.00 to clear airbag light.
Hope it will help.
