I am looking for the clear brake lights to match the clear brake light I purchased. Is what you purchased clear or are they more of a gray? Its hard to tell from the suncoast pics.

Will take side by side pics.

personally i like the normal red tails; something about the "clear" looks odd to me on most cars.

i hated them on the 991 .. reminded me of APC Altezza Tail Lights that every maxima accord civic you named it had it .. but for some reason these 992 clear lights look sleek and perfect to me

I wish my rear side tail lights where RED. I think it the 992 would look cleaner with all red.

That's my issue...the inconsistency.

Anyways, after a UPS delay, looks like the lights are out for delivery...excited!

works on a red car ... i think if the outer tail lights were red it would work better on other colo(u)r cars

I am also a fan of the way they are. I think it looks good on our red cars.

Also looks good on my Gentian Blue car--red upper brake light, light bar, and reflectors. I think the clear setup looks better on light colored cars.

I was originally on the fence about it, but I think in being consistent with the front clear sides and black badging, it works. Maybe not on all colors, but I’m happy with it on my Pure White.

Seems thus kit includes everything in clear.

I wonder if I can just buy the middle section. Because they sell the clear third break light on the grill.

Thanks for the link!

This should be the center light, but as you can see it's basically the same price: https://www.getporscheparts.com/oem-...ght-9p5945081a

You can ask the guys at GetPorscheParts to confirm, though, they generally will know best.
