ya thing thing is simply a numbers game.

The manufacturers of these pieces require LARGE orders for decent pricing. Smaller orders make the pricing so high that it makes ppl ***** online

The NB 996 numbers are so much higher that we would have to basically have an astronomically higher "modding ratio" (we do! we do!) to offset our smaller numbers.

Another way would be to ensure that it also works with the 997.1 - but I'm not sure if this is possible.

The kicker is that many of you will drop off and NOT purchase at the increased price that would ultimately result - due to the smaller pool and increased risk.

I'm in fwiw...

You're right,

But on 6speed, the 996 Turbo forums is the most busiest one by far, and we spend a ton of money on our cars as well. Im sure there's huge demand for these lights, just seems like noone wants to take a chance on the 996 Turbo.

I'm sure the LEDS would take years off the car. Its the only thing looking old on my Turbo

True, to begin a new light housing. Manufacture need to invest large amount of money for mold, prototype, testing and certificate. This is a fixed cost for new item no matter they sell 1pc or 1000pc. They need to decide if that model will be profitable before start. Also they want to retrieve the cost as quickly as they can. Porsche aftermarket LED light market size cannot be compare with something like BMW. When the volume of order is low, price per unit will be increase. If the light is close to $2K a pair, no one will buy it. Normally minimum quantity to start will be couple hundred pair and I doubt we have that many here. So I have to try convince factory and made them believe there is a market for wide bodies 996 LED tail light. Not sure if this will happen but we will try!

sorry to bust the bubble, but there's no way this is happening at $500.

Maybe $500 for each side!
