LED tailights for 2006-08 Cayman installed!!

To add a little more uniqueness after finally getting my car back after about a month.(new engine internals) I have some LEDs!!!!!
Tons of work article coming soon, about $7,000 to do the conversion.
This is not a plug and play mod. 40hrs of work just for the wiring, and there are parts which need to be fabricated because they are too new and not even made yet. Thanks to in car electronics for doing the labor.







I love it though because now I dont have to remove the plates, eurospec is so much cleaner looking.

Euro bumper even. Nice work man, have to admire your commitment as this must have been quite an effort.

I took the shortcut and just bought an '09.

Did the top edge of the tail lights line up correctly or did work need to be done on the rear fender panels as well?

Your dedication is admirable. That's a lot of scratch for a conversion. Looks great though.

Nice work. I like the LED's...but Im just not a fan of the shape of the housings themselves. Too curvey for my taste.

Did you have to modify the bumper? I assume you do. And the mounting point for the tailight is different as well?

everything works correctly BUT still getting light warnings.
blinks fine.
I am taking it to porsche to be reprogrammed so the car understands less resistance is needed, that might work OR I will get the 997 rear module.
