Dash lights & Switch

[Beaky]

My interior dash lights (these are LED’s) have recently started to annoyingly constantly flicker.

First it was just the one bulb now several are doing it, by adjusting the dimmer setting they stop for a while then start flickering again.

Now I assume it’s the 30 year old dimmer circuitry that’s now malfunctioning and a new switch is in order.

As I always have all my cars dash lights set to maximum, I don’t care for or need the dimmer option.

Is there just a simply Porsche on off replacement switch that can be purchased or do I need to decommission the dimmer function on a new or on the old switch for that matter?

So some feed back from Pelican about by passing the dimmer function

In terms of a by pass " If you want to bypass the rheostat just move the black/blue wire over to the grey wire terminal for the running lamps"

I believe my wiring is a follows:

N - Grey/White 58l - 2 x Grey/Black 58r - 2 x Grey/Red 75 - 2 x Red/White 57 - White/Green 58a - Red in line fuse and then to Blue/Black from the loom 58 - 2 x Grey 56 - White/Black

So that would means moving 58a to 58, would this work, has anyone tried this, and is there any issue about load on terminal 58?

Thanks for that. Have you any info on the bulbs themselves? Such as type, wattage etc?
