I dont think that the quality will look nearly as good as the OEM. Not worth it in my opinion. I have never heard of that brand, but i know that there have been many problems with aftermarket LED taillights, as in warning lights and units even catching on fire.

Compared to the 996 aftermarket LED tail lights, I'd have to say that the design on these are improved...although I'd like to see the execution and end product before making final judgement.

Just ordered mine. I was just about to order a new bumper with 997.2 led lights- this would have set me back $3000-4000 (half of it would have been offset by selling the used parts). I'll keep you posted.

I like the .1 taillight shape better. It is a cleaner look that doesn't seem like a forced styling change/afterthought.

rare is infamous around these parts
They are under $250 if you buy 50 sets but i'm sure they will do it for a fewer amount.
I have seen these in person and they are quite good.

Wow - awesome find! I'd be happy if we can get it for $350 shipped. May be we can try 25 sets for that price?

The look of these lights are growing on me. Definitely looks better than 997.1 OEM.

I tend to agree, you would think the 911 of all cars would not need a family tie in to the other models with the kink in the lamp.

I would also advise on making sure these LEDS don't randomly burn out after a month. I've seen it so many times with aftermarket LED tails. Sometimes you're missing one or two bulbs right from the get go... sometimes it takes a month or two, but eventually you lose an LED here or there. Starts to look silly.

I've had two bad experiences in the past... but not with these specific tails.

Guys, we get a hold with the lights and able to order them from manufacture. Because they're new, price is nothing near $250 but we should able to do $700 shipped. Please post interest and if we have enough orders, we will setup a groupbuy.

btw, we're getting a set of sample in a week and will post details review!
