OK, so I installed the LEDs from Maxspeed, and...

after about 5 hours I finished.

They look really fantastic and like others have said it is a great bang for the buck upgrade.....I am really glad to have purchased them......it's just that there is no possible way to get it done in 20-30 minutes as stated on their website, unless you are the world gold medalist in Light Bulb Switchery, 997, and even then you would probably break or scratch something in the hurried process. Also the directions on their website, I discovered, are not detailed enough. Now I am a noob to the 997 and I took my time as to not damage my TTS, but even still the job takes some time. Also some of the lamps are tricky to remove like the trunk and engine bay bulbs as they get super hot once you open the compartments to get to them.

There are 16 bulbs to install.........you do the math.

The dome lights were the hardest but I did it..........I tried popping the lens off but that didn't work so I removed the whole dome light cover and the job was easier that way.

If anybody has any issues feel free to PM me. As the saying goes in medicine, watch one, do one, teach one.

Dome light was hard. I forced the lens and broke it. Luckily Suncoast carries them. Took me 2 hours.
