I've so far changed all the interior bulbs to leds, except the footwells. Do any of you know what type of bulb they are? I'm guessing they are standard 194/168/2825 peanut bulbs, but just want to make sure.

I guess I can just go down and check too, but maybe someone can save me some work.

 

just pull the bulb. You're gonna replace it anyway with an LED so better safe than sorry. There is always the manual or check rennlist (or call the parts guy at Porsche)

 

I just changed these a few days ago.
I pulled out the light assembly, pulled off the metal cover, pulled out the bulb and then replaced with an LED bulb.
I used a 194 from VLEDS. I think the one that I used is too bright, so I'll use a smaller 194.

 

In the process of doing this now. Plastic looks really brittle and I can see previous owner cracked it slightly. How hard is it to get the metal cover off without breaking light?

 

Not hard at all. Just use a razor blade or thin metal prying tool to pull the metal away from the plastic. You can see the four plastic tabs that lock into the metal housing. The metal is pretty malleable so after you separate the two parts you just bend the metal housing back so it locks comfortably over the bulb housing after you make the change.

 

Take your spamming somewhere else.

 

Check an LED mod thread here, I posted pictures of the process to take off the metal cover

 

Ok update. The glove box light works well having problems with passenger well. Need to try changing bulb. Still can't get map light to come out and really don't want to break it.
