Connections are the same as the driver. Here's the driver pic. Make sure the "black covered" (see pic) is in the correct "socket", 3 cutouts/divets to 3 on the piece containing the wire. (Difficult to describe this without pics, I know -- at work, will post photos tomorrow.) I had to remove the black electrical tape from a few of the wires because the connections made on the factory light are NOT THE SAME AS THE AFTERMARKET LED LIGHT -- per, for example, the "orange" factory bulb in the photo.

BTW, I used the "Son of a Gun" protectant to soften up the seals.

997 Exhaust Tips Question

Would you mind telling me where you found your Exhaust tips? Were they a pain to install? - Thanks

Edwin,
I've read several posts where several individuals have bought the much awaited LED tail-lights, but I haven't been able to find out where they are buying them. I've seen them on Ebay for $699, but I'm hoping a group buy may still be open (or) another seller with a better price has been found for 6speeders. Any info? -- Thanks

After going back to stock lights, ABS and PSM work again but a couple of my bulbs got fried. I went to Porsche and the guy behind the counter gives me 2 sets of bulbs for free..so today wasn't all bad. I have no idea how that happened since it didn't do that the last time it was connected. I am an expert on taking my tail lamps on and off now.

I'm not sure if they make them for our front turn signals but i saw at autozone they make regular bulbs that are led's there are like 5 of them in a circle i was thinking maybe that would even out the current and prevent the hyper flashing??? Just a thought

If you're having issues with "Fast Flash" aka "Hyper-flashing" with your new LED Tail Lights, checkout this article from guys that specialize in LED technology:
