Guys, I sold my 1996 Targa that had an OBC since it was a tip. However, before I sold it, I changed out the bulb for the OBC. Initially there was just a ghost of the numbers. When I change the bulb, the display changed back to its usual orange hue. This was a simple change. But since I no longer own a 991 with an OBC I cannot tell you step-by-step how I did it. All I remember is that it used a standard instrument bulb (there are only two types used on the 993). I think it required a few screws to be removed from behind the tach to get to it. Send me an email if you still need help. It's a simple DIY. It does require you to removed the steering wheel to do this. But I know an easy way to do this. Hope this helps - Marc I have the same problem on my 993. I got a quote on this and it was over $500, and this was while the dash was already dismantled to replace some other lights. The technician said it was a royal pain in the *** and if he was going to charge me this much for it I figured I wasn't going to take it on myself. Seems like a pretty major screw up on the design side to make this such a pain, but whatever. I'm learning to squint.. ;-)
