Who knows, they could be. Worst case scenario, you'd have to return them and be refunded.

Quick search of the part number and you find lots of other vendors but a few have them listed as direct fit for NB and WB

... and the wait continues

I was going to volunteer in light of my recent fender bender and the tail light tabs broke.

Yeah, I've seen those before. Fit is not well documented by any of the vendors. You get a lot of hits if you search for the part number and LED Tail Lights. Did you know they fit the Scion as well?

Just spoke to Auto Parts Warehouse , and spyder directly and these lights are not for a 996 turbo as they are advertised on auto parts website , pretty disappointing. The sales associate told me they were for a standard Carrera and would not fit a turbo , clearly . So Auto Parts Warehouse needs to do some corrections on their site.
