Hey all,
My one (and only) complaint with my 914 is that the dash lights are very faint and very hard to see at night (speedometer, etc.). Someone told me that brighter LED bulbs are available. Is that correct? If so, can someone provide me with: 1. What bulbs? 2. What source to buy them? 3. How many do I need? 4. Are they direct replacements (i.e. no other modifications need to install them) 5. To replace them, do I take out the 5 or so screws on the dash faceplate to access them? Thanks, guys! |

Ah, interesting, Tom. I was wondering the same thing. Lots of time the gaskets get stiff with age, so I'm a bit worried that when I press them back in that they won't seal as tightly.
So, if I just take out the four screws, the whole panel will come out and give me access to the bulbs? |
