You donot have to access the speakers, but still have to remove the door panels. Remove 4 hooks of the old speaker covers with some small tools (ie. flat bed driver). Not sure about the alarm though.

Someone please specify which LEDs :lightbulb: I have to buy. Thanks

Let me add one question here.

The klusters are swapable? Can I just replace 1999 kluster with 2002 cluster?

:help:

Can Someone please tell me how I can remove the cubbies, radio, AC controls and batwing from the Center stack, I would greatly apprecite it.

By the way if its possible I want to hardwire my Magellan Roadmate 500 for power and audio. What materials do I need for power and where do I get it from. ( I already hardwired my V1)

0. Pry out button panels(left & right) from bottom to top

1. Radio - pull out using the radio removal tools as Loren said.

2. AC - pry out the AC surrounding bezel , remove 2 screws on the top(left and right).

3. Batwing - prying out the leather paddings, in turn, the batwing from the side.

I head Magellan sells the wires, but never seen one.

The top with glass window is on ebay now.

I think erics is refering to 'sports touring package' (= 'sports design package').

Anyway, looks fantastic!

LVDell & erics,

I agree the wheels are beautiful, but good luck with cleaning them :oops:

They have just brought out a new version of the operating system which has a lot of new features including being able to choose the shortest, quickest, walking or cycling routes.  Also if there is a toll bridge, tunnel or road on your route it gives you the option of going around it.

So the newer version of OS is included in 'current' TomTom GO Plus? Or do I have to wait for new one for 'quickest' path?

Sorry for a question about aftermarket stuff, but anyone have experience with "TomTom GO Plus" or "Garmin StreetPilot c330"? Are they basically same? Looks like I can get much cheaper price on TomTom, but someone claims TomTom gives 'shortest' path instead of 'fastest' path...is it true? Any comments will be appreciated!

For MY99, I believe Boxster Red was the only full leather interior option. Consider 'replacing' instead of 'recovering', you can buy door panels or dash in good condition from ebay. Cheaper & Easier.

Congrats on your near new Boxster.

LVDell, thanks for accepting my "LOW BALL" offer! :lol:

Maybe I can post something like "High beam rotation on Litronics - worth it?" later.

Finally!!! :cheers:

Thanks for the offer, MA$E.

Fortunetely I just got used pairs from local Boxster owner.

FYI, AMBulbs.com told me they are working on better city light bulbs(whiter but not blueish reflextion when it's off) .

Thanks for help!

Thanks for the link, MA$E.

The person on the link said Philips is NOT yellowish at all, but the same person later said it IS still yellowish. So is it better, but still yellowish?

looks too yellowish to me!

Anyone tried HID matching blue version from Osram or other brand?

Does it make noticeable difference? Any recommendation, please.

This is perfect news to me, just in time!

my top just start rattling, and plastic window got some scratches. :angry:

Keep us updated!

Extra Feature? = High Beams?

Yes high beam. As far as I know, you cannot retrofit auto leveling feature anyway.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So Jeff or geoff, what happens if I turn on high beam with no wires installed? No highbeam at all???

For those who installed Litronic headlights (not factory installed), is it worth to connect all the wires to get the extra feature? or just plug and play and be happy about it?

But will they peel back on?

I heard the bigger problem is the needles are not working after replacement.

One of the member had to go back to dealer to fix them. Ask Henry what to do before you take any risk!

Yes it's possible. The upper console from 99-01 Carrera is compatible with yours.

Hmmm...At least I'm not the only one messing up with dashboard.

When is next work on cars day? :) ...or swap day... <_<

Its a bit of a mission to r&r the dash.  If you do take it on, make sure you stay organized.  Toughest part is remembering which bolts go where. When you're coming out with the dash take it slow, if it feels like theres resistance, then double check to see if you forgot any screws.  Also when you're going back in with the dash, make sure you have all your wires routed correctly and are not pinching anything between the dash and the body BEFORE you go to screw the thing back in.  The wire for the sun sensor is very easy to forget, then when you get just about everything installed you go to install the sun sensor and you've got no wire.  I've done it, so trust me on that one.  The first dash I did probably took me around 8 hours.

I'm more motivated now with your tips and advices, in addition to Loren's comment. :)

Do you have any instructions or pics? I have workshop manuals, which look good enough for me to get going, but I want to collect any additional information as much as possible.

MOD IS DESEASE!

Are you sure?

I know it sounds crazy. I ended up with black leather dashboard with perfect condition (don't ask me why bought it) and now I want to have 2 tone leather interior. Mine is Boxster Red as yours. Better forget about it?

Here is my quick Photoshop draft anyway.

Yes whole dash board. Now I'm familar with removing/installing most of interior pieces & trims, but not sure if I can do the dashboard myself. :help:

Dash speakers of hi-fi option are different from base?

Thanks in advance....
