Default OEM Taillight Source?

In need of an OEM tinted rear passenger taillight lens for a '22 911TS. Is the dealer my best source, or anyone got a good hookup? TIA.

Much better sources than Suncoast - if you know the PN, Sunset Porsche, Silver Springs Porsche, or DE Porsche will be cheaper and offer free shipping. Let me know if you need help with the PN. . .

was recently very disappointed with Suncoast customer service. I tried to cancel the order before it shipped and they told me to f myself. Was a car cover.. nothing special. Just thought it was weird and now I have to schlep down to UPS, which I probably will not bother to do.
so now I just have a 400 dollar car cover I don’t need.

i gotta look at these alternatives for next time

I had a similar experience with them - the most annoying thing w/ them though is that they refuse to disclose the PN of what they sell, so you have not real way to determine if it's correct, or compare pricing to other dealers. i had a parts question a few year ago, called them up and asked them to verify the PN for my VIN - they flat out refused, and told me that the part was special order, and non-refundable. They suck, and their prices are almost never the lowest. They count on their website that is pretty decent to highlight common items . . but it's absolutely worth the effort to find the correct PN and then shop around. On a set of retrofit Carbon Ceramic Brakes for my GT3, Silver Springs was over $2,000 cheaper w/ shipping than Suncoast, so it definitely pays to figure out the PN, and shop around.

I've had GREAT luck with Sunset Porsche in Oregon - they are often the lowest or near lowest price, and offer free shipping on many items if you order over $200. . . good service and communication as well. I also like Silver Springs, DE Porsche, and for may parts, Eurospares.com in the UK is a great option, and very, very attractive pricing, even with shipping. . .

I buy from Sunset regularly and their customer service is better than most.

Thanks for additional info on Suncoast. I have used them before with no issues but seeing multiple people on this thread talking about experiences makes me reconsider.
I'll look into Sunset.

Thanks. I actually don't know the PN. I haven't pulled the assembly out ant wasn't planning to until the repair. How can I determine that? It's a '22 TTS tinted/clear taillight assembly - passenger rear.

If you’re open to buying used, AZCycleparts might have some in stock. They buy a lot of exotic cars for their salvage yard.

my dealer is super helpful with this - they don’t care where I buy the parts. Give them a visit if you know any folks at your dealer

Another weird Porsche pricing thingie - if you buy just one light, it's like $900. Or, you can purchase the entire exclusive design tail light set (3 lights) for $900 . . PN 992 044 913
