I just wish we had the same LEd options for the turbo / WB cars as the NB has.

I have a set on my NB that looks a lot like the 997 lights. It really cleans up the rear end a lot

I like...now time to black out the emblem (or at least silver instead of chrome), and black out the tial pipes...that would look sinister. I have a diy thread on here for the tail pipes that is easy and looks great.

It looks really dark, but when the brake lights come on they are definitely visible (granted, not as much as if they were stock, but they are still highly visible). I'm leaving my third light stock, so it should help

The smoked aftermarket third braked light is a multi - bulb LED unit and is MUCH brighter than stock. You should consider it.

+1. I have done both, which are cheap but have a nice impact.

Ahhhhh, the modding....it is a virus. The power.... The aesthetics.... The fun!!!

I'll look up your link for the tail pipes--they're almost black anyway from the way these engines run

That looks fantastic. Ive always been a fan of tinted lights on various cars. I was thinking about doing them on my seal grey car along with carbon badging, but not sure id like them once I got them on there.

Either way that looks great.
