There is a small wiring mod to the car to add two simple wires. The multiplug in the tail lights has spare pins, we give you the bits to clip in the extra two pins needed. That makes them plug and play and reverse compatible with standard lights.
The two extra pins are to allow the ignition on sequence because there is no feed to the lights letting them know when you start the car.
Gotcha.. Thank you.

So the lights having a history of condensation isn't a problem because you'll be sealing them back up again regardless?

No probs. Glad to help.

If the casing (lens or back case) isn't cracked or otherwise damaged, then we solve the problem.
They can be totally fubar'd, full of water and all the LED's and driver board toast. If the case is in good physical condition (can be sealed) then we sort it, all in the cost.
It's a total re-manufacture only retaining the black back, front lens and reflector. We block the OEM vent and fit two new Goretex ones. We seal the multiplug and after replacing all the innards, we properly seal the lens to the case.

service to the US? I was looking at getting a new rear light as my turn signal function no longer works on the right side.

edit: wow, long time lurker as this is my first post in 7 years! I had a Boxster S when I joined then went to a 911 Turbo, then a 911 Cab.

I now have a DB9 Volante. do you need the third light for any reason?

Happy to supply the US direct. Email us and we can chat about your needs. Don’t require that third brake light.

Thank you again for the information. I'm looking for a pair to send in as I don't want to modify the perfectly good pair in my car currently. It makes more sense to source another set in need of re-sealing due to condensation etc. Then keep my original units untouched.

I checked out the website again and ordered one of those billet oil caps for the V12.. Those are really trick! Lots of cool parts on your website!

Do you offer exchanges for Original AM CF parts with defects? Such as DBS front splitters with curb rash or diffusers with stress cracks in the clear coat?

I received one of those for Christmas.

It's beautifully made -- looks like jewelry under the hood!

Kind words are much appreciated.
We tend to make something for our own cars and then think that they'd make a nice product.
Those oil caps do look nice if you've bought some of these aswell ... https://www.modsticker.com/products/...o-Sticker.html

I'm afraid not. Yo do know you can get that repaired quite easily? It's a matter of economics, DBS splitters are cheaper to replace than repair. A diffuser, not so much and worth repairing.
