Is there a LED retrofit for the rear taillights without bumper changes?

I was shocked as well to see there is still no retrofit part for 997.1. How could something like this take so long? It seems just about everyone would buy them!
Sounds like a great business opportunity.

Guys! No need to fret as my mate Chris is working on this mod! He's got a set of my rear tails and already has them apart working on the design.

interested. subscribed.
Jetpilot . . .don't let Chris forget about the front lights. I like the Techart LED's but they add a light and are in the neighborhood of $1300. Even at that price I'm thinking about them, but would rather use that kind of money toward 20% of a used supercharger ;-)

That is why we are focusing on the original 997 housing in order to plug and play!

+++ I would not change my bumper just for shape of a taillight, unless someone plows into me. Oh wait, someone just did!

It's in the 997 section under the thread heading:
Gauging Interest: 997 LED Taillight Conversions
Chris has done the mods for the Acura NSX and others while now working on new templates for the 997 etc...

Just out of curiosity, I presume 996 LED tail light won't fit 997? They look awfully similar but I presume different.

Absolutely right. Can't wait for an update with pictures. Hopefully we can have one with resistors built in so we don't have to worry about bulb out warnings etc. Thanks so much!
