I recently changed the bulbs in the instrument cluster to white led. Looks ok. Not too bright but much better than before.

I now want to change the rest of the bulbs to white led as well. But I'd like to order the bulbs before removing the rest of the dash. Any idea which led bulbs I need? (web links to actual bulbs would be great!)

The clock bulb is the same as the dash bulbs (509t) don't know about the rest.

Right, I've managed to change almost all the bulbs with led replacements.

The interior is so much better at night with led festoon bulbs. I used these in the front and the boot - http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/264-le ... white.html. You can now see everything.

The only bulbs which I haven't been able to replace are the 2 bulbs sitting behind the heating control switch. They have 2 pins connecting them to the circuit board. Does anyone know if these can be pulled out and replaced or do if they are soldered to the circuit? If its the latter, I'll probably just leave them as they are, if not, makes sense to change them now.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone changed the 2 tiny bulbs that sit in behind the see through plastic on the heating/aic con unit?

This is the unit I'm referring to:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-944-Heate ... 500wt_1060

Is this even possible?

I'd love to change these two bulbs to white LEDs also but not sure which bulbs to buy... Can anyone help?

I've managed to narrow the list down to 35 products. (See link below) Not sure what else I need to select to narrow the search by? Will also need to know which resistors to buy...

Thanks in advance...
