When do you think you will be ready to get a final count on the GB so we all know what the price is going to be. By the looks of it there are a lot of people looking to get these things.

is it the pic or is the stock assembly brighter? Hmmm, wonder if it would blend in nicely on a C4S with the decklid reflector? I'm local enough if you have another unit I can check out?

Could be the angle of the picture, or the extra glare on the LED lense, but I don't see a lot of difference in LED brightness between the "brake light" and "running light" pictures. Is it my monitor? The turn signals don't appear to be very bright either. Perhaps a youtube video will clear things up a bit.

Man I'm loving the look, def updates the rear of the 996 without it looking like some weak add on.
Your p-car looks great orange, I don't see those lights coming off again.
+1 on a Youtube clip if possible.

The lights that were used to test-fit are the smoked/clear one so it is a little darker than the OEM red. These do retain the fog light feature.

The 20+ GB is the same price as the 10+ GB ($575 shipped plus paypal fees if used). Now if I ship in bulk to one location, we can save on shipping. Fog lights still work

Correct, there are no LED lights for the 996 wide bodies. I have asked the manufacturer to think about it... no word back yet

Dwayne,

Rest assured I too want a YouTube video of it but OrangeC2 didn't have access to a video camera. I would like Orange C2 to chime in when he has time but he did mention the lights are plenty bright.

I will make this offer again... if another local wants to test fit the lights and shoot a video, please pm me. In return, the lights (once they arrive) will be sold to you at a discount.

I'll let Orange C2 chime in on his personal experience... so you don't have to hear it from a PP guy

Edwin
