If you are Jonesing for a lighted key head and a Porsche logo....here is a tutorial....First take apart your 914 key by cutting off the black plastic. Then if you can borrow a 911 blank and then buy a 911 lighted key head on eBay and some LEDS.
Trace the outline of the head of the 911 blank onto the the naked 914 key head. Then dremel the 914 head to match. The new 914 key should snap into the 911 lighted key head. You can use it as-is or convert it to LED. Here is what the 911 blank looks like.  Now....to the conversion. Open the key head and remove the batteries and the copper plate on the side. It should now look like this....  Save ALL parts. Someone will need the copper strip if they stay with the oem bulb. Next take the LED. Seen below and find the flat edge. The flat edge and the short lead is positive....  |

Really cool people will see it as a 944 key head, not a 911.
