I'm not crazy about the amber console lights. Anyone replace them? I just saw a kit on eBay and wondered if enyone had done this and where you got the kit?

Does this only change the digital lights to blue or is there a way to change all the instrument lights? My biggest reason is that my HU is blue and I'd like it all to match and since I can't change the HU this might be they way to go.

Yes. FYI, changing the aircon lights is also possible but requires some light soldering.

Yes, I changed mine over a year ago, got mine from porscheleds. Have a look at this thread [has pics]

It is about a 4 hour job to resolder all the LEDs on the climate control and extreme care needs to be taken.
I bought a second climate unit to dismantle and solder and then sold the original just in case I screwed it up.
The other LEDs in the instrument panel are very easy to install but be careful to get the polarity correct or they won't do much.
One downside is the main beam indicator comes out a greeny blue colour rather than blue.
I think looks the business as I really hated the orange. Good luck

Omar, where did you get that front end? And does it include the LED running lights?

Anything for a 2004 911? Porscheleds.com kit only works with 2001 and below.
