Reason I ask is that the rear 997.2 LED tails are already plug 'n play if you have a 2007.5 - 2008 997.1. The module that controls the tail lights in these cars will accept the 997.2 LED tail lights by just plugging them in. If you happen to have a 2005-2007 (before mid year 2007) 997.1, you need the newer control module which Suncoast can also supply when purchasing the LED tail lights. Not sure how much this other company is charging for their control module.

We just finished converting a 997.1 to a GT3 997.2 with DRL front and LED tail lights in rear. The 997 was built in 12/07. We have had problems getting the turn signals to work work in the rear when the engine is running. Dash shows a fault left side light. WE have changed to control unit in front to '09+ part.

Hi 997 WA,

I will definitely need the loom so wherever/however I can get it would be helpful. I'm happy to call you if that's easier....just email me your number. My email is skiang@yahoo.com.

I think I could find some folks who can jimmy rig something together but I want to get this job done right! Thanks again.

Stan

Hey guys,

I recently upgraded my front end 08 997 cs2 to a turbo bumper and I also have the same problem. My blinkers don't work. Any advice on what part to get and where? I greatly appreciate your input.

For $1500 I can buy the 997.2 bumper, lights and part to do the conversion... Some of these Porsche aftermarket companies must think we are idiots...

Light mods

Fvd has wiring harnesses that are plug and paly , but they are $800+ dollars each. I think this can be done with the std module and resisters or canbus circuits, however i dont know what canbus circuits are. I am going to search and try to get up to speed. Any help from an electiral engineer would be helpful
