Well I held off as long as I could and finally caved on a set of these.





Has anyone installed an OEM bright Amber LED front signal bulb? If so can you point me in the direction.

 

very nice, what brand did you end up going with?

 

Thanks. These are the Depo/Dectane LEDs that resemble the 997.2 lights. I used a Transfer Filter on the photo to see how they might looked if I smoked them.

 

excellent. definitely on my wish list

 

very nice.
the clear of the turn signal would look better on light color cars than smoke..IMO...I got the smoke version b/c I want it to blends in with the rest of the car

 

Nice work. Those look really good! Post a few pictures outside without a filter if you would.

 

Did you or could you/is there a thread on installation. They look great. Thanks

 

Some photos with no filter are below!

If you have a wide body car (C4S), they won't fit for you unfortunately.

As for install it is pretty simple.

1. Pop engine hatch/cover
2. Remove 10mm bolt holding OEM lens in
3. Disconnect the wire connector
4. Clean the inside area where the old light sat (might as well)
5. Remove resistor from LED lamp (gently pry it off it is two-sided taped on) and remote mount to back of opening as shown in picture below with two-sided tape. This is to move the heat source away from the LED light
6. Reconnect wiring harness to LED light (optional - zip tie to secure it)
7. Slide LED unit in and re-tighten the bolt with a lock washer. I just snugged it as I didn't want to break anything

You will note that I used a lock washer and zip tied the connector during my install. This is out of paranoia as I have heard of a few members actually losing their LED lens. The lock washer prevents the bolt from coming loose... and if it were to come loose the zip tie holds the connector tight until I can address the missing bolt. If neither were done that lens would meet the road. The insurance is just too cheap to not do it

 

Boooo I have a C4S, lol. Thanks for the update, it sure looks great.

 

That is one Beautiful ***!!!

 

Looks killer! When you get a chance can you snap a pic of them out in the sun?

 

Where did you buy them?

Thanks guy - Will take some shots in sunlight very soon. I bought them from a 6speedmember B8_RDC (great guy) who went with a widebody and had no use for them. I believe you can get them on ebay for around $650-700.

Honestly I think they are worth it. The back of these cars need some updates in my opinion Plus if you ever sell your car, you can recoup most of your investment by selling these back to another member at minimal loss. They flash about as bright as the OEM lights which is not common among aftermarket LED tail lights.

 

Weld them in!

 

sweet so $ though...wish were 300 not 700
