Hey, thanks for the tip, I just bought a set. I offered $55, nope. $57, nope. Only one more try allowed, so I went with $60 and that did it. So you can feel good about your purchase, looks like you got the best deal that could be had

Crap... well, I guess it is better than other things it could have been. My passenger side lower screw area completely broke. I have been hearing a small thud in the rear for a few months. Figured when I changed out the shocks/ springs/ mounts/ drop links it would go away but it didn't. I cut a thin peace of metal- drilled it to fit the screw and fit from top score to bottom. Took it for a spin (Lake Arrowhead- for so cal peeps) and no more thump. Light is secure. The other side is cracked.

I'm in the ecommerce business myself and am still absolutely amazed with the service from the manufacturer. The repair pieces that I ordered at 4PM EST Saturday afternoon on eBay were delivered Monday AM all the way from Elk Grove, CA to Cincinnati. Shipped First Class no less.

Great job seller and great job USPS!

Just ordered a set as well. FYI - any offers under $60 are a waste of time. From what I can tell, its setup to auto-decline at 58 or lower.

EDIT: within 10 minutes I've received a shipment notification as well as an email from the company with some instructions, tips and a video. Definitely impressed.



You're in Cincy as well? Are you going to the Spring PCA cruise April (edit, got the date wrong) 22nd

I know nothing about it, what can you share? I looked at the Eastern Region events and only saw one from May 20th.
Thanks!

Man so I received my used replacement tail lamp from Ebay, and come to find out I failed to realize it was the LENS only... No wiring harness rendering my new lens currently useless and on the hunt for a freaking harness now. I should have known

Does anyone by chance know where I can find (for a good price) or have a wiring harness for the driver side (right) tail light?? Looks like they are ranging from like $125- $200, just trying to stop the bleeding on this wound...

Wow - that sucks, crmcgregor. Have you tried LA Dismantler? http://www.ladismantler.com

I went ahead and ordered the new parts from Pelican this morning after looking at my existing tabs.

Nice thanks man. So the new is like the same price?? That is the correct prat 100% yeah? 4S?

It's my understanding the rear light enclosurer on the Turbo and C4S is different from the NB cars, but the wiring harness is the same. Of course, it would be a good idea to contact Pelican Parts or Porsche to be 100% sure. I'm sorry to hear this has caused a lot of trouble and a lot of money. Nothing is cheap when this kind of thing happens. I wasn't hoping you'd back track and find the enclosure on the side of the road. I'm sure it would have been broken, but at least you could have saved the hardness, but that could have been destroyed too. If I'm not mistaken, when you pay the *new* price for the part direct from Porsche the light is sold separate from the harness. Some manufacturers include it with the enclosure, but I think Porsche sells it totally separate.

crmcgregor

Well shoot answered my own question. The website for new is a dead site and the new people saying it is $225 for the part, and the ebay one is not for 4s

Sorry about that man! I'm really not trying to send you on a wild goose chase.

I really hope you get this thing back together soon.
