I've seen melted sensors before as well, C4S Surgeon had like 3 of 4 sensors melted when we did his brakes. The excess heat can come from heavy braking on a high speed track w/ OEM pads, thin pads, spent brake fluid, or all of the above.

I got mine from Suncoast: http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/me...Code=996brakes
I altered them a little to direct the air flow more efficiently. They snap right on with no tools necessary. I have had no problems with tires rubbing on them, although I have heard some people do.
I was using stock brake pads when I melted my sensors. I moved to PF after that. I am back to stock now that it is a street queen.

Eli,
How hard is it to remove the cluster to get at the light? Is it really just a 30 minute job? Do you know of a good write up on how to do it?

Scott,
I have some photos that I have ready to put together a tech artical for the site, I'll shot them over to you if you promise not to repost them..... Sorry I haven't done the write up yet but I can walk you through if you have questions. About 20 photos in all....

Removing the cluster is not hard. We do it all the time when we retrofit the OBC because you need to add 4 wires to one of the connectors on the back of the cluster.
There are lots of Boxster instructions out there. The only difference with a 996 is that a 996 has the oval trim piece around the hazard switch that a Boxster does not have.
