I got good prices on the Cayman, but I really dislike the back-end, especially the taillights..


I was wondering how easy is it to install the LED taillights on the Cayman?
And if i'm right you need to change the bumper too?
Do you need to re-map the computer to accept LED lights? If so, how?

 

Yup. Here is a write up on another forum. It's not turnkey, so it's not going to be cheap. If it's not too late, perhaps apply the $8k to your car for an '09.
swapping tail lights

 

Thanks for the info..
Definatly gonna find a 'newer' Boxster/Cayman.

 

The caymans/boxster really hold thier value here..

If I buy an older 987 I can save some money for the mods..


So what about the headlights? Is it plug-and-play?
And the front bumper?


'10 Headlights are my first choice..

 

if youre changing headlights or tail lights you have to buy '09 and above front and rear bumpers..

was wondering the same thing if there are aftermarket led tail lights for 987.1

 

still no afermarket LEDs available, I have the new Gen techart type 2 front bumper on back order coming thru CEC (Justin!!!!!!) anyway it should be here next week. that has badass LED DRLs and they have a dimmer switch too. here is the video.

Are those official TechArt DRLs or aftermarket? Just wondering cause I was getting quotes at around $1800 just for the DRLs (a little much IMO).

 

They are techarts and like the rest of their stuff, they aren't cheap.
