Interior Lights Install- LED

Hi Guys- I bought an LED kid from the LEDMafia guy in Germany to try. The trunk/frunk lights pop right out, 5 second job. ..How do I remove the door lights and the dome light? Also the license plate light housings look fragile too...Id rather figure it out before hand then busting all this stuff in the process. Thanks

The door ones also just pop out, just use something flat to get under the posterior side of them and wedge them out. They are the same for the lights above the engine bay

...feels like im gonna crack the ones on the door just prying on the backside of them. Still no clue about the dome...looks like the license plate lights are enclosed and the whole housing gets replaced. Gonna look at the suncoast kit just to compare.

I did all mine in no time. the ones in the footwell we hardest,I had to bend the little metal tabs so I can slide the lense an put an led one in.the license plate were easy ,just don't be forceful,take you time.you will love it when your done.

Thanks guys...the trick was definetly having the right size flathead to pop the lights out without messing up the plastic. Best $28 Ive spent on the car

Looks great.love the red seat belts.

I just installed mine few days ago from the same guy. I got the kit of 8 so I didn't have 2 for the trunk and frunk. I agree, it's the best $ 28 spent. Wonder how Porsche didn't include this on a $50k car. Now tg red only thing it bothers me are the halogen headlight and projectors. Wish it was something simple as this for that.

Agreed...I'm also stuck with the halogen headlights . I was spoiled with the '10 I originally ordered that had the bidirectional xenons...totally unnecessary but so cool to watch them in action. Might be looking into this next , as I'm running out of things I want to do the car

Hi Rittmeister, Did you buy the lights off eBay, or directly from LED Mafia? I have a 2006CS that I would like to retrofit. Googled LED Mafia and did not see a dedicated website for them in search results. Thanks, PL

Hi Papa Lima- actually found them on eBay by just searching " Led 987", sellers name is LED Mafia and came recommended after kboustani gave them a try. Easy to swap and great quality for the $!

Very good. Thanks much for the info!! PL

I had a 2006 Boxster and put HID lights in, it is certainly doable but I did have to overcome a few problems first. My kit was older so it did not play well with the CanBus signals, eventually I had to run dedicated power from the battery and it's own switch to operate the headlights , this worked for years, never a problem (I removed the kit when I traded in the car). The only pain was every time the car was started the computer would post a dipped beam out warning for both sides that would appear in the dash display. Probably the most tedious job was fitting everything into the headlight housing, in the end I had only one positive lead hanging out to be connected, it was a clean install but a bit of a pain. (the next car was ordered with Bi-Xeon) Today there must be kits that take all of this into account, should be a lot more straight forward now... Once my BGTS arrives, I will be looking at the LED kit for the interior lights, this car didn't come with it and that option was not available outside of a very expensive package. Suncoast had the kit for $89 I believe.

Installed the 8 bulb set from led -mafia off ebay. Mine came with 6 "small" ones and two "buss" type of lights. The two "buss" ones go up in the frunk and in the back. Easy to swap. The other 6 were a bit of a mystery. I put one in each door, one behind each seat, and that left me with two bulbs but locations for 5 more. I put the other two in the foot wells. I tried them in the overhead area, but felt the foot well location looked better. I ordered another set in order to put two in the overhead and I'll need one more for the glove compartment light. So, I guess I'll have a few extras. Pretty nifty.

I misread the original post and ordered a set from a seller in the UK. Eleven piece set for 20UK Pounds. Anyway installed fine but if anything they are too bright! These ones were the super bright and included ones for the visor lights. Could probably do surgery in the car now...haha

Oh right, the visor lights...forgot about those. I'll have enough to burn retinas with them. May (or may not) do the visor and dome if I think it is just too dang bright. The glove box, front, and rear lights are a must. I like the door lights too.

Dome light is a must.i love mine,it looks great and when my top is down and I open the door it makes the car look much newer .

...not sure about swapping the visor lights (like bofus said, you'd probably blind yourself) but everything else is easy and not intensely bright, even the dome...the standard halogen bulbs look more like 'mood lighting' in a nice restaurant, the LEDS allow you to actually see stuff. I didn't get to appreciate them until I got to a hotel late at night on Sunday, and had to collect all my items from the couple hundred mile drive from Houston to Dallas. I had "forgotten" they were there, and when I started digging around for stuff, I immediately thought to myself "wow, its nice and bright in here.. I can ACUTALLY see". IMHO, its absolutely worth the $30 and an hour of your time.

Ok, you've sold me. What do you think of this kit? Agtâ„¢ Xenon White Interior LED Package Kit for Porsche Cayman Stage 3 | eBay Amazon.com: Genssi Interior LED Dome Trunk Light Bulb Kit For Porsche Cayman: Automotive Is it similar to what you received from the mafia dude?

They look about the same.i like the one I got from led mafia because it is made in Germany and shipped from Germany and made for my car.i was worried about error light warning so I felt good about the product.if you go on eBay and search , Porsche Boxster large led interior,it will come up. No affiliation ,just worked for me.

They do look similar...its so easy to swap them in/out that if you aren't happy you can always buy a different set.

Those are poor LED 's i don't recommend them: If you want real deal then go with them:

A link and named description would be nice, a picture is not that easy to search for!!!

ebay.com > cob t10

I almost ordered these but decided to go with the ones from amazon . I'm not sure if these panels might be a bit too bright.

Quick n dirty side-by-side of my LED conversion including side markers. Stock bulbs left side. LED lights on the right. UV LED lights under quarter windows. Looks much better in person.

Housing for the footwell lights? They just pop apart and you can put in the same bulbs. I did the glovebox light tonight, much better. If you do the footwell lights, you'll get a bunch of dots on the floor instead of an even light. I think it is probably worth it, the dots are "interesting". Biggest bonus is the bonnet and trunk light, personally. Should have come with it that way. How does one get to the lights in the sun visor? I'm unclear where to pry to get them apart.

+1 Bofus...I wasn't a huge fan of the spotted footwell lights at first, but the housings pop right out. Doing all the lights takes no more than an hour, and updates the car soooo much. I have not figured out the vanities either, but since I never use them I really don't care. the next project for me is getting H7/8/9 LEDs for the fogs and headlights (I'm stuck with Halogens). At least they gave all 987.2s LED tail lamps lol

Sorry for the misunderstanding Westcoaster...all 987.2 's have these housings in the footwell regardless of the lighting package

No worries, just adding the information for those with 981 's trying to add LED lighting. It would seem that Porsche has taken a little step backwards with the removal of these lights, or possibly in their mind forward as to make it now an option! $$$ On you 987.2 up and around the mount of the rear view mirror, is there a 'horseshoe' shaped light? I thought on my 2006 Boxster it had this, definitely not there now on the 981 , just 2 separate map lights.

...don't they love to gouge us on options I'm suprised we get any lights w/o paying extra. I don't remember what the map light was like on my 986 , but on the 987.2 it's a clear plastic square lense with 4 little tabs and a single bulb. After doing the swap, the lense flew out every time I shut the latch for the top. A couple tiny dabs of glue fixed that.
