Haha, I actually understood what the Chinese parts were. 
Basically, what they said was... there were too many LEDs and hitting the housing. They had to redesign it with less LEDs which is the bottom pic.

At this point guys... I think we'd all be better off if we just told them to make the 996 WB OEM light style, just with LED's. We all know what that looks like, it works with the lines of the car, and we'd all be on the same page. 991 just doesn't work with our cars, and there's too many 997 styles and options for us all to agree upon.
Just make them like the stock lights are, and if the end user wants to smoke them or whatever, they can do so.

After all this time it is nice to see a hint of progress from the MFR. Any design they produce will likely be far superior to the stock ones and I am really hoping this finally gets produced!
P.S. please leave the smoking/tinting to the purchaser since that is an easy mod and not everyone wants a tinted taillight. It would be a lot harder to remove tint than to add it

They said they would start production as soon as they are finished with Boxster/Cayman ~ 2 months but they have given me timings before and you can't really count on them 100 %.
