Default Looking for LED Tail Light Recommendation

I am looking to replace the tail lights on my 2004 Turbo Convertible with an LED aftermarket. I haven't been able to find too many choices. Most on the market seem to be for standard 996 Carrera but not Turbo. Would appreciate it if anyone could post some pics if you have upgraded and provide vendor / purchase details. Thanks in advance.

That’s where I got mine in October 2015. They still work perfectly.

This kit works very well bright with modern touch but stock look - https://www.bergvillfx.com/products/...led-kit-us-red

Well, everyone has their own opinion. For me, the LED lights add a little bling and update the look. I don't dislike the stock lights, I just feel they look a little "dingy". I kept my stock lights in case I ever want to go back, but I don't think I ever will. Then again, I have a bright red car with a big *** wing and put Christmas lights on it, so my taste may not be the same as everyone's.

I'm not replacing my lights until the 10 million lumen units are available. I don't think it's enough to simply temporarily alter the vision of other drivers, because of course "the lights can't be too bright, right?"

Smoked, give a nice modern but understated refresh to the rear

Smoked goes well with seal gray. The GT2 wing, wheel color and exhaust add a little bling. Nice work customizing your car.

They would look good on a black car, other colors not so much.
