Hey guys, I am in the process of having a body kit installed on my 997 Turbo and have also added the LED taillights. Ric from Suncoast has helped me tremendously, but I wanted feedback from people who have done this to their 08 997 Turbo's. Will the taillights work immediately once they have been installed or does the dealership have to activate something in-order for it to work?

Also what is the process of installing these lights, are there certain steps to follow to ensure the lights work properly.

Here are some pics of the car with the kit currently being installed.

 

Very nice. Is that the techart kit or the nr auto? Looking good.

 

its the nr auto...

Well my experience with this is not good you need to buy 2 modules and change pins,reprog and now my front and rear trunk courtesy light is not working

 

I have already bought the front and rear modules, I have the information on which pins need to be moved andI have an appointment with the dealership for them to reprogram the control units to accept the LED's.


Any useful infor you can offer that will make the installation easier or flow more smoothly?

Also will the lights work if the cars module has not been reprogramed? I have heard they will work, but I will just get a warning light on the dashboard, can anyone clarify?

 

I wish i could help you Bro, but please post pix of the car once it is done

 

thanks for the kind words cayenne_ksa.... The car was supposed to be done today, but the guy at the bodyshop said he didnt link the difference in shades between the original paint and the kit one's so he is respraying them. Hopefully ill have the car ready by tommorow! (fingers crossed!)

 

Looking good so far !

+1 for final pics

 

How is the fitment of the NR Auto body parts? Looks pretty good from the pictures. How much work does the body shop have to do to get good fitment?

 

I heard some friends who have the NR auto rear bumper and they told me that it was a LOT of work to get it to fit correctly.

Curious to hear your experience.

 

I have TA Type II and we worked hard to make the LED light look perfect the change is night and day.
But my electrical system is a mess we cant make all work,I have brake lamps no turn signals no driving lights nos hazards !

 

May be a stupid question, but if there are 6 LED light interfaces on the new lights, and 6 bulb interfaces on the stock tail lights, can't you just clip and splice the wires in to the new harness and skip the light control modules? If warning lights come on, couldn't you just splice in resistors, and skip messing with PIWIS and control modules?

 

I have no idea....

 

The fitment is actually not the best. We didnt need to modify the front bumper as much as the rear bumper and wing. I was also the first customer to ask for the rear bumper that fit the LED lights. They do not fit very well and there are some parts I really dont like about the parts, so I need to call the guys at NR Auto to tell them about them.

There was about a 10 days of modifying and fitting, and a around a week for paint installation and all other stuff...

 

Yes, very true....refer to the post above!
