Thanks guys! It has taking me a few years to get this far. It looks even better at night thanks to particlewave hooking me up with some blue LEDs in the climate control and buttons

I love the look of the Boxster with the blue LED's, Amazing. How complicated and wallet-draining is replacing the orange lights throughout?

The gauge lights are a simple swap. They sell a kit for that SportsCarLEDs.com Instrument Panel LEDs Kit for the Porsche ® Carrera 996 & Boxster 986

The rest of the lights involve soldering. I had particlewave do that for me. I don't think the new LEDs cost very much, but I know there are a lot of them on the climate control.

Might be old, sorry, but do you recall the sizes of the LEDs that you installed in the gauge? Thanks.

No i'm not sure of the sizes. They were installed on 1/4 turn connectors just like the factory back lights. Particlewave may know the exact LED sizes. I would ask him.
