Cleaned the Snow Off

Oh, how I hate you owners who live in warm climates This is all new snow that fell over the weekend in Calgary, Alberta. It was clean prior to Friday.

Installed led interior-light kit

I converted all my interiro light bulds to led. Found a new problem and self induced another.

Lesson learned 18 year old plastic is very brittle. Broke clip that holds dome light in place. Trying a temp fix while i order a new one.

Found frunk light is in op and seems this is a normal problem.

Received pioneer single din head unit, in prep for audio upgrade.

if it's not too late, try ordering the newer switch type dome light instead of the old rocker type, the newer one has metal clips that won't break. Will need a new connector but it's pretty easy to source. See http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/58525-dome-light-swap-97-04-type-possible.html

Wish i knew this i ordered it and it shipped already! Next time.... At any rate my temp fix superglueing a misding tab back on is holding for the moment. Love the extra light, just wish the color was in the warmer zone.

Thanks for the note too....
