997.1 LED Tail Light Available

I've been searching for something like this for months.

Another forum member found on ebay. Here's the other thread:
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...s-997-1-a.html

I found another set that looks decent but of course it's coming from Singapore and it's not cheap. It would be great if we can get a group buy if there is enough interest. Looks like a direct plug and play

Not sure what's up with the bright blue center - where's turn light?

Here's another vendor's listing:

Oh, finally. I've been waiting for this forever. Ever since the .2 and every other car went to LEDs I've been lusting for them. They are so cool. Can't wait to update mine. Not.

Problem is part of the appeal of the .2 lights (at least for me) is the shape, not just the LED's.
Damn you Randy. Still thinking about this mod

I am with you bonehead. I definitely like the shape of 997.2 better. However, if these lights are decent quality and can be had for around $600 shipped, I might be willing to give them a shot.

I believe these have resistors built in so it won't trip error messages.

Wow...these look cheap. I honestly prefer the .2 versions. You'll have to know how they work once you try them out.

Yea, I am with you. I dont' think it's worth the $900+ risk but I may bite if we can get them for around $500 to $600 shipped.

Maybe we can arrange a group buy to lower the price...It would be more interesting then...

I remember Depo made LED tails for Mercedes applications several years ago when I had a W203 and many owners reported random LED bulbs burning out with no good way to replace them. You've been warned.

if its depo from the E36 lighting fame then it shouldnt be too much of a risk.
But when I look close I see the LED clusters look a bit cheap, not like the OEM ones...still, at $600 a set they would be priced right I suppose.

I checked with the vendor and even with 10 purchases, we are looking at most 10% off - around $800 + shipping. Perhaps someone else can strike up a better deal.

Here's a pict of OEM for comparison.
