Hello everybody!

First of all - I am a new member from Germany.

I have two Porsches: A 996 Carrera as my daily car & a 986 Boxster S as a "fun car" for the weekend.


I am contentedly with both cars - but the appearence of the 996 rear lights by night isn´t really good.
Only a small square on the edge is illuminated. Especially if you drive through fog or rain, you can barely see a 996 driving in front of you.
A better lighting would be a plus of security, wouldn´t it?

Has anyone modified the rear lights yet?
Or are there any aftermarket lights (propably in the 997 style with the clear glass)?

Best regards, Cade

 

This is my Carrera:

 

EDIT:
Sorry, it´s not possible to upload further pictures at the moment...

 

Welcome to 6 speed and nice cars. Try hosting the pics at imageshack and then pasting them in your message.

Never heard of doing anything to the rear lights. Sorry.

there is a rear fog light. Just turn on your fog light switch, may be that would help.

 

Okay, here is a picture of the Boxster:



And this picture shows the rear light:

 

In Germany it is only allowed to use the fog light if the sight is less than 50 meters.

Furthermore the fog light is just on the left side - it looks asymmetrical if you have it on...

 

Welcome and nice car. Just drive fast really fast that way you don't have to worry about anyone behind you.

 

Cade were are you located at in Germany? I just got my first P-car, and I will be returning to Frankfurt next month.Maybe you can show me were some aftermarket shops are located,so I can have it tune

 

You have am PM!
