There has recently been a lot of controversy on the 996 turbo forum about the new LED tail lights that were released about a month ago. Multiple people have reported condensation and the manufacturer JAD is saying that this is normal. We would appreciate any feedback from both 997.1 and 997.2 owners as to whether the 997.1 owners who converted from OEMs to the LED's have noticed any internal condensation. The same question applies to 997.2 owners since their LED are OEM and if there is condensation inside of those tail lights then we can consider it normal. The major concern is that this is not a cosmetic problem and that it will ultimately lead to corrosion and failure of the LED's

 

Maybe I was lucky but I had Depo LED taillights on a 2008 TT for about 3 years and never had condensation. I'm in a 2012 GTS today and so far no condensation on the OEM LED's. Do your 996 LED's have the rubber venting tubes?

 

None. Had them for 6 months now

 

Have had my Del Reys going on 9 months now....no condensation issues at all.

 

Thank you

 

Thank you your car look great

 

Thank you

 

I have seen condensation in headlights at times, but never in any tail lights.

 

Never had any in my OEM LED taillights on my 997.2 GTS in 3.5 years of ownership.
