The tail light lens on the right rear has a large gap running along the bottom edge.

I looked online and check those pictures :

left side 2010-2013 tail light, right side 2014-2016 tail light...
how is it possible, I thought wiring was different
Panamera experts can you let me know if this is possible

Thank you,
The tail light lens on the right has a large gap on the lower edge between the red plastic and the white body.

Hello,

I just came across these pictures by accident, so it could be done, modification is needed, heavy body work is to be done.

this is an aftermarket bumper install. Not the taillight swap. Aftermarket fiberglass bumpers always have imperfections that need to be fixed

If you go to the URL that a poster provided for these lights, it clearly states professional installation can be arranged, followed by them saying they also sell body kits, fiberglass repair kits, body repair resins, etc.
Anything can be done. These lights are not so very different, but enough to tell that one can tell they are not a direct replacement. I am sure you can find someone to do body work on your car. Will that be worth in the long run? To have 2014 lights for previous gen? It will be your call. Good luck. I am very happy with my lights, no plans to change.

I'm not interested in changing to newer taillights; what I said is that I was surprised that there is no OEM or aftermarket smoked taillights for first generation Panamera

For color changes, I find that aftermarket business lags very much. These are always expensive and almost never look as good as ones made by Porsche anyway. My preference is never smoked, but as we know your preference is different (nothing wrong with that). Good luck with your car and lights though.

This overall kit is grosteque , but what they did to the tail lights looks cool, can be painted or wrapped with vinyl then cut with knifeless cutter I'm thinking.

I bet facelifting the rear end of Panamera is similar/identical to what have to be done on the Cayenne:

I would be concerned if the car was hit from behind. Will insurance pay to fix it? I had aftermarket mods and had to show that they will installed at the dealer at the time of delivery for them to pay for a replacement, for example.
