Thanks. But I can't take credit for it--found out about it on a thread over on Reenlist. My bulbs to the tach were dead anyway, so I thought I might as well re-do all 5 gauges. Just did the white lights, not the colored warning ones (as they're not on as much).

The warm white is what's closest to OEM, though some apparently prefer the brighter natural and cool white options. My 964 took 11 white bulbs. You have to bend the tabs a little to get them to work. Minor PITA, but not as bad as getting the stubborn instruments out of the dash without marring anything. Just bend the two tabs "downwards" towards the base and twisted a little (like airplane propellers) to ensure good contact. And because we're all a bit cheap, total cost was about $22, which is what two Porsche-branded regular bulbs cost.
