Got my 2001 S cluster leds swapped out to blue. I hated the stock orange/yellow color. Just have the seat control switch box to finish my interior color swap.
I did pull a shaft out of my speedo stepper motor and had to solder a new motor on the board after finding where to buy one online.
Hardest part was getting the needles positioned right on re-assembly.
I got a 996 cluster still in the box from somebody on eBay for cheap and want to change the leds out but thought I should try getting it done on the 986 cluster first.
Thanks particlewave for your posts on the subject.
Full disclosure this was a couple of months ago.
