Still waiting on some smart person to come up with an illuminated rear GTS center strip!

One of my customers is a huge LED retailer and tried to have these done in LED. The cost for tooling and a minimum run of 100 was astronomical cost for the end user. Would have taken years to recoup that cost so we scrapped it.

Ive put LEDs under my kitchen cabinets...behind my flatscreens...etc Peel and stick and hook to the 12v power supply. Surely the GTS strip cant be that hard to implement?

That is why I'm placing uv tint on my new/old lenses so that it will last longer then these damaged stock units. I would do the same.

Again I don't think the rear housing section has to be the same as oem if you are going to change to led or the look. Just the mounting tabs would have to be the same. I'm sure the wiring could be figured out by one of our resident electrical guys when it comes to using the oem harness to led lighting straps.

We got a 3 d printer for christmas..... MUCHO work on making these perfect...

Either that or something like the new 911 tail lights.
I'd be interested for sure. Count me in if this happens.

Randy V

Any thoughts about a mod to the existing strip using LEDs? Sounds like your project was an integrated approach?

Great, want to give it a try?

We could probably find a used one to experiment on.

Madturk

I'd be happy to supply a pair of tail lights. I'd really like to see this happen.
Address??

For LED's that are mounted to or sandwiched in the actual lens face, a double-layer laminate of red under clear acrylic would be relatively easy to cut and bend to match the exiting outer shape. It's the little details like diamond inner faces that gather and diffuse regular single-point "bulb" light that get to be fun. Would you be happy with rows of bright spots where the little SMD LED's contact the inner faces of the red, or would you still want a full lens cavity evenly lit as they are stock? Want white backup lights? Want amber sections for turn lights? Each little section gets assembled and attached to the clear outer lens.

If you want to vacuum-mold them in a silicone mold, you'll end up making an 'armature' or backbone to support the silicone. The silicone needs to be pretty even thickness so its own shrinkage doesn't affect the finished product too much. You could make the inner pieces and then glue them all together on a formed-sheet clear Lexan (or similar) outer skin. Once the molds are made for the various pieces, you could do them in any color you wanted. Except maybe blue.

I will keep you in mind. I am currently spending my free time working on making the center console trim piece for the OBs. My guess is that project will consume the next 6 months. But I have been and will continue to research some ideas I have for these tail lenses as well as Randy and Sean's ideas for illuminating the center strip on GTS's.

We just purchased a pair of 928S4 / GT tail lamps brand new from Porsche ( Ex Germany ) via our local Porsche dealer 4 weeks ago, it made a massive difference to the 928GT in question ( appearance wise) , old ones faded & cracked etc , new ones are ( new ) and really brightens up the look of the car

I'd be willing to bet transforged.com could easily pull this off. Having followed them and seeing their recent work this would be right up their alley.

Speedtoys

shame they would only sell three.

I’ve seen brand new ones from Porsche as low as $420 for the pair. Pretty cheap. I would say it’s only worth it if there was a serious improvement in quality.

Anybody besides me hesitate to send $500 to Latvia? Or maybe I am just annoyed they won't ship to Hawaii. You know, Nigeria, Somalia, Hawaii.
