Your Nose is GT style i think, mine is Turbo the spoiler is the GT OEM FACTORY WING it came as an option on the car, its on the original window sticker, as "exclusive Option"

They are 996 LED tailights, on amazon for $300 very easy to fit, all you need is a flasher relay if your 996 is 2002-2004 if its 1999-2001 its just plug and play!

can you confirm the reference number for the flash part ? I think I will give another shot at ordering the amazon led tail light. my first order came broken and I had to return them ;( they looked great aside of that.

I like the lower painted lips on your bumper, make it look even lower. great looking car !

Did you install the side skirt yourself ? or they came with the car as well ?

Side skirts were also OEM- original owner ordered it with that option from Porsche as well as the GT spoiler.

here is the REVIEW i wrote including the Part number for the flashers

This review is from: Redlines Red Smoke LED Tail Lights for Porsche Carrera 996 99-04 (Automotive)
I ordered these LED lights for my 2002 911 and they were packaged perfect and arrived within 2 days, not sure what all the fuss here is about. If you have a 1999-2001 Porsche 911 these will not give you any error codes- If you have a 2002-2004 you need to just buy an LED flasher RELAY, its about $20 and you exchange it with the one in your car, just unplug yours and plug the LED relay in- thats it- the relay is near the clutch, turn your turn signal on, and you will hear it clicking on the left, reach up and touch the relays and you will actually feel the clicking, then you pull it out and install the LED FLASHER RELAY IN- it doesn't come with the lights so you need to order one, i got mine from a place called superbrightleds. com. part #CF13GL-02

cool I think I'll order a new set with that relay thingy thanks for the heads up on the relay, valuable piece of information to avoid the hyperflash nicely

Phil.....what is this review you did on Amazon? Did you order one set and now ordering another?

Oct 27, 2010
The quality of built is really poor, but the packaging was the real problem, the tail light were literally bumping into each other during the whole trip. I am even amazed that only a small piece was broken..the wiring was flimsy at best, and with my 2002 911, I had the hyper flashing problem.

yes I did order a pair, they arrived broken.

I was a bit pissed because
1- they arrived broken, packaging totally loose
2- their bulb 'butt' was too sharp and I broke a tongue on my wiring harness when I rotated their thing in my harness.
3- I had the hyper flashing

But I liked the outside appearance, so I'll give it another go. Do you think I was too harsh on my amazon review

@Dell: Thanks for the exhaust tip, installed them yesterday they look fantastic!

lol, dude that was your review?? HORRIBLE REVIEW OFCOURSE! they came perfect for me...you should have contacted them and gave them another go- hyper flashing is normal so is also the ABS ERROR on 2002-2004 but once you buy the relay your golden!
