If am living no where near a Porsche dealer to activate the control unit, it won't be possible to do this mod?

5) A Porsche dealer to activate LEDs on front & rear control units

Hope this helps anyone interrested in modifing
Would you please be kind enough in giving us the part numbers for the above mentioned part.....

gormanlad,
Ive been told by suncoastporsche this is what happen after installing the lights.will i have the warning light on the dash?


I now have the front and rear control units in stock, the pair would be $366.88. Once installed, the lights will work but a warning light will be displayed on the dashboard
We're trying to find what wiring/pin modifications are required to remove the warning light. We don't have this information yet.
Once the lights, control units, and wiring upgrades are installed, a dealer should be able to activate the LED program in the cars ECU.
