Here's a very helpful reflector removal video from Tom M'Guinn:

Production run pricing is $90 per set shipped in the US.
Alaska, Hawaii, and International shipping is not a problem - you'll just pay whatever the shipping cost is.

ORIGINAL POSTING BELOW

Hi Everyone. I developed a custom made LED projector set for the late gauges in 2002 and sold well over 100 sets over the years. I've not produced a run in about 10 years. Now that I'm older, much more financially stable, and have come close to making the product near OEM quality... I'm moving forward with another production run. This 4th revision uses new molds that are exactly the same size as the originals so they snap into the cluster, a new resin that is very durable and UV resistant, and 3500K led's to give that white/yellow light to match the factory illumination in the rest of the car. They are vastly superior to led strips or knock offs on Ebay.

These fit late 944 clusters as well as all 968 and early 928 clusters.

In 2002 and 2004, the sets sold for $130 and the profit margin wasn't very good because of the cost of materials. LED's back then were $5 each and the kit has 9 of them. At $90, I make a couple bucks for the 2 hours time it takes to make each set. My young son and daughter thank you for your purchase as it's helping to pay for their educations.

My set, the originals, have 70,000 miles on them and are now 17 years old. They still work perfect. I'm sure some members who have the original sets will vouch for how well they work. There is a similar set offered on Ebay out of Thailand that I purchased to compare.. and really, there are substantial differences. Read the write up here: https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-...l#post16127803

​​​​
If you want to reserve a set, post a reply here and I'll add you to the list. You'll pay when your order is ready.

Thanks!

If you search "Perry951 LED" you should come up with several of the original threads.. just for reference should you wish to see what everyone talked about in the olden times.

Here's the 2nd run post with some photos and feedback. Perry 951 Dash LED's

These are for any 944/951/968 with the late dash (85.5+). The new lamps are 2500MCD in 3500K.. so white to a touch yellow white. They are not blue in any way. They are 25% dimmable with the factory dimmer.

These photos were from Randy_J. The updated parts will be opaque white to help reflect back the 10% of loss to the rear of the tunnel.

I looked at the original post and if you don't even have to take off the steering wheel, I'm totally in. What's the time frame for production? I'm in no rush for them since I won't get around to the project for a while, just curious.

I'm in if you do it. Any chance you'll do this for a 928, as well?

I'm in for at least one. I'll make an inquiry to a friend on a possible second.

The dash lights in my 968 are very dim, this might be a good fix.
