Need to add puddle lights to the targa. I like some of the after market ones so need to shop around.
A lot of folks here have these, including me (above) with great success:

It's a major PITA to do and when researching whether I should do it myself, I even found someone who dented the actual sill trying to remove them.

Had mine retrofitted at the dealer. Puddle lights however are gay IMO

Do these work for the 992.2 cars, and do you have to have had prior puddle light option on the car? also is there a colored option one?

Yes, your car comes with puddle lights standard.

Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and opinions...and even their own offensive or derogatory posted comments....

But there aren't too many 992 options if any that don't cater to some type of buyer at some level.

For me, I live in a desert community that does not have sidewalks or very many streetlights. What I do have are dangerous desert creatures (rattlesnakes).

Those Puddle lights you despise allow me to see what I'm about to step into or on when exiting my car...they could literally be a life saver.

You sent a text to Frank or f4? If the former, he’s out of town.

Texted to number ending with-6291

those sills look great.

I am gonna go with the illuminated ones though. I think they only come in dark metal though.

and the leather for the inner silk (where the buttons for the trunk/rwar kids and umbrella openings are).

Yep! That’s him. I think he returns Monday or Tuesday.
