That comparison photo series was extremely helpful. Thanks for posting. (I prefer the FVD look.)

Bit of a thread necro, which of these lights are the brightest?

I've noticed changing out a lot of tail lights, usually after market units aren't as bright as OEM and use inferior LED's. You can't even see the turn signals and brake lights that well during daylight...

Or are comparable in brightness to 997.2 OEM?

I grabbed up a set of front DRL LEDs and am quite happy with the look and function, but they are definitely not bright. To the point that the fog section when lit is completely invisible on the road over the headlights.

Bringing this thread back - where did you get your front LED's from?

I'm thinking of going Del Ray's the whole way just because of the support and quality.

I'm all about salespeople that stand behind their products.

Going on a year with the DRC lights (all around)....no issues.

I added the LED hightlights about 6 months ago (not in the attached photos)....no issues.

Shane's a top notch guy and stands by his stuff.

Thanks for all the responses!

Do you guys have any recommended installers in the Maryland, DC or Virginia area for the front LEDs?

Thanks again,
Neil
