Default No more wide body LED tailights?

Looks like Del Rey Customs no longer sells the wide body LED tails - gone from their website. Any other sources for these?

was another source in the uk. 911 something iirc? but hey all came from the same mold I'm sure. so whoever has them left is what is now old stock.

geez, can't wait for mine to start going out again.. great! no more replacements.

That sucks. Glad I got mine. Kept the stockers, just in case. But I will have a hard time swapping back if the LEDs go bad - I really like the look of the LEDs.

one of my favorite pastimes is backing the car up and enjoying the luminescence of the rear led's in brilliant white. i am only half joking.

would be a sad day to have to re-install the dingy old oems.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, there are a bunch of widebody 996 LED tail lamps on ebay. One seller is xtrememotorcars

right you are. because one of the pics is of my car.

the seller is in SB,CA and it seems they bought a bunch of sets when they finally got here a cpl years back. they must still have stock as i doubt any more than the initial run was ever made.

Buy them from the UK like I just did...with the exchange rate plus shipping, it's still much cheaper than buying from the US or from the rip off artists known as Delrey customs.

Design 911 has them. I just got mine and are happy with them.

^ looks good..yeah, thats the uk place.. and thats a good price for em too.

i paid a cpl bucks more from del rey but they also swapped another set after some led's died, so they did right be me. i guess it doesn't hurt i was able to roll into their shop.

MotoJB those look great, any other pictures. I have a white turbo as well and kind of like the look and those prices don't seem terrible either.
Thanks

MotoJB - Just curious why the Haterade for Delray Customs? I have no affiliation, other than buying mine from them.

Looks like someone else is producing them, this listing shows what looks like a slightly different led config on the inside.

those look different alright! seems like every iteration of them gets "rice and cheesier".
