LED taillights - Thoughts?

We will be receiving a shipment of these tailights at the end of next week but I wanted to get your thoughts on them. What do you think? The design was modeled after the 997 LED tails. These will fit all 996 (99-04) NB

Features:

- LED for brake lights and turn signals
- Plug and play
- Excellent fitment
- retains fog light capability
- Warranty: 6 months exchange - buyer pays for shipping
- Available in: red/smoked, red/clear and all clear
- **currently only available for 996 narrow bodies
- GB info below

Final GB info: $575 shipped plus 3.9% paypal fees
Availability for pick up:
$550 cash

Update:

All packages have been shipped and insured for $700. If the boxes and product arrived damaged, please contact me immediately so we can file the insurance claim.


Note: DO NOT INSTALL THIS PLUG AS IT WILL BLOW A FUSE. This is for the rear parking light. Don't worry as another plug will light this wedge bulb light so tape up this connection and just put it away (or cut it) somewhere. Thanks





FINAL GB: (Name/Lights wanted/Paid)


Red Clear:
1. Sold

Looks sharp. And it gets rid of the amber.

They look pretty good imo. Was it in the 2000 MY that the tail lights lost the amber?

Thanks for the feedback so far. Regular price is expected to be $650 shipped within the lower 48. I can hold a groupbuy if there's interest for lower pricing.

Are they smok-ey or red? Where do they come from?
Seems a little on the high price spectrum to me if they are made in china but this is something that nobody had done and they look pretty good.

I would love to...in fact, I would love to get a set for my car (996tt) but the manufacturer only makes it for the 996 NB right now unfortunately

Joel,

We will have three versions available. Smoke/Red (as you see in the pics), Clear/Red and all clear (with a smoke tint).

These do come from Asia as does almost 100% of aftermarket lights/parts. As far as I know, we are the first to offer the LED lights but in terms of price, if I can get enough interest (5+), I don't have a problem running a GB

Interested as well, keep me posted.

PS I don't want to post the link, but just to let you know there are Boxster versions like this for $170 USD so may want to consider the price.

Cheers

Aaron,

Yeah I saw that as well. Unfortunately, I don't control the price. I wish I could sell it for that low but I simply can't since this is one of the first (if not the first) batch to hit the states and be available. The manufacturer knows this and we bought directly from the manufacturer so our cost is pretty high already... not to mention we had to buy in bulk. If I get some interest, I will run a GB and get the price down some. Now if you find the exact one we sell for a lower price, please do let me know.

Edwin

Hey Edwin,

You seem to be the only one for sure... and I'm all about supporting a 6speed member! Put me down for the group buy information, I think they are wicked.

Cheers
