I have a 997.1 cabriolet. Recently replaced the Halogens to LED. At first the LED lights worked then stopped about a week later. I took a volt meter and all fuses checked out good. checked all LED lights to ensure bulbs intact. I then disconnected battery overnight and replaced footwell lights with halogen and left LED lights intact for other areas of car. Next morning, all lights worked. Bottom line, the computer is not detecting the proper current from the LEDs and defaults to no power. In order to keep the ECU from getting confused, keep the halogens in the floorboards.
Great kit and great support

Purchased this to update my GT2 with soft white light from the dull yellow incandescent bulbs that came with my car. The instructions were easy and clear and when I hit a snag with a couple of the bulbs, Suncoast responded quickly and provided an easy solve. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

Bought these along with the LED license plate lights. Those I gave 5 stars. The interior LED kit provides a huge improvement in terms of the light quality, so would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to upgrade the interior. I had read the reviews and understood that LED bulbs are polarity sensitive, meaning they need to be installed the right way round, so I anticipated that a bit of trial and error would be involved. Three of the bulbs (the two footwell lights and the glove box light) come pre-installed in new housings. Unfortunately, the bulb in one housing was loose and the bulb in another had been installed the wrong way round, so I had to gently pry open the housings and reinstall the bulbs. Not a huge problem but something that shouldn’t need to be done given that it could easily be checked during assembly.
LED Light Kit Must Have!

Wow! is all I can say. What an improvement to the interior of any Porsche without LED lights from the factory. Took about an hour to complete, although I kept going back to Youtube whenever I had difficulties removing a fixture. If you haven't done this upgrade yet, you need to, you will not be disappointed.
Quality Parts, Looks Really Nice

Find yourself a good video on youtube to make sure you know how to pull the old bulb housings out. Also note LED bulbs are one-way only so if it doesn't work the first way just flip it the other way. This actually happened on one of the provided foot well bulbs that comes inside a whole new housing with this set so I just popped it open and swapped it around. Looks super nice from the outside when the lights come on at night. Definitely worth the money and short time to install.
Worth the extra $$

I bought the less expensive LED's that are easy to find on the internet. They did not last long and most of them "strobed" intermittently. Ordered this set from Suncoast and saw an instant quality improvement. ..You get what you pay for..lesson continually being learned!
Huge lighting improvement!

Great product! Each of the bulbs or fixtures fit perfectly in the intended location. The online instructions are a bit sketchy in some areas but with a bit of trial and error they were all installed. Be sure to get them installed in the correct direction (polarity). If a bulb is not working just reverse the installation and it should work fine. Now that they're all working I love the change to the interior of my 911. The lighting is much brighter and whiter than the OEM bulbs. I especially like the footwell lighting...I can actually see my carpets for the first time! I highly recommend this upgrade for a low cost major improvement to the interior of your 911 or other Porsche model.

Initially there was a problem with the installation, which once diagnosed, things work fine. Specifically, be sure to include information about the polarity of the LED's....if put in in the wrong orientation, they will not light. I discovered this on another uTube video, and then I turned them around, and they illuminated. Second, be sure to have the purchaser check to see that the LED's are properly installed in their fixture....mine were not, just loose inside the supplied fixture.....I figured this out trial and error. Otherwise, the installation worked fine....I suggest that you include these bits of information to minimize call-backs, and consumer upset.
Quick Install, Looks Great

The entire kit was a quick and easy install. There were no instructions included, so I had to fiddle with a few things while being careful not to break any small parts. That didn't add much extra time or hassle, though. The LED lights make a huge difference. Maybe not for everyone, but I really like the more modern look it gives the inside of the car.

I love this item. It was exactly plug and play. I did not have to cut any wires or change anything. Take bulbs out and put in the led bulbs. Only thing you have to watch is that LED bulbs are directional ( check to make sure that they work before putting everything back together. If the bulb does not come on, simply flip the bulb around. A few of them came with the whole light assembly. Top quality LED lights.
