OK, so here's the deal. It's a three step process. First remove the illumination portion containing the light bulb and the securing bracket, two pieces either both green or as mine was the bulb portion green and the support piece black. These are removed by prying under them with a small screw driver.

Next the center portion, aluminum and white plastic piece. This is held in position by two small tabs located in the inside of the lighter, the location where the actual lighter would be placed. There are small clear plastic tabs about 1/4" wide by 1/8" high that require pressure applied to them, one at a time while pushing on the white portion forcing the center or metal piece out of the assy. This takes some time, a little on one side then a little on the other till it releases. After this the clear section remains.

The clear section is again held by two clear plastic raised tabs that when depressed release the clear portion of the assy. And there you have it. Any questions please let me know, I'll be happy to help. :jump:

Thank you for posting this in 2004. I have been fighting to get this thing out and your post really helped!!

The kit including the electrical harness, screws, clips etc. is:

996.512.901.02.G2X

Thanks Loren!!!

Does anyone have the Porsche PN for this item. It is the same rear wing as the GT3.

I believe it is also the Aerokit Cup II rear wing.

Anyone?

Does anyone know the Porsche PN for the Aerokit II ('02 and later 996) front bumper and lower spoiler?

Additionally, I am trying to find the PN for the GT3RS Brake Ducts. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

I just did this mod and it works great. However, I have one problem.

Before the mod, my dashboard switch illuminated when the exhaust was in quiet mod. However, now the switch now longer illuminates when in the quiet mode.

Does anyone know if there is any way to correct that?

Thanks to this forum...for all the DYI info.. installed the following.. :cheers:

How do you like the EVO Intake? How does it sound compared to stock?

Ruff used to change the instrument panel on the 3400S to the 996 panel. If you call them they may be able to provide some tips.

What parts do I need to keep and re-use for this install? Thanks!!

Wow!!

I installed a B&M and goofed up the alignment. I really need a tool to fix it.

Is the blue tool the right one to use? Where can I get one?

I recently read (on another message board) that PSM had different "maps" that it uses according to perceived driver skill. The way it was explained on the other board was as follows;

"And believe it or not, PSM is adaptive--the better you drive the longer of a leash it will give you--correspondingly, drive like a ham-fisted fool, and PSM will really clamp down on you."

I know that Tiptonic (in auto mode) uses different maps to chose shift points, however I did not think this was true of PSM.

Does anyone here know the answer???

I watched it (no problems). Nice video.....thanks!!

Thanks Guys!!!

Put on some snow tires and you'll have no worries. I just had my 996 C2 out in the first Chicago snow of the season on Friday. The car (on Blizzak's) performed very well and was very stable.

As the other member indicated a lag on your radio LCD when cold is normal (my Audi A4 did this also).

Good luck!!

Hi,

Does anyone know the correct Mobil 1 oil for an '02 996 C2??

I heard that Porsche has revised the recommended fill listed in the manual.
