maybe it was the cellphone camera, but the parking lights look amber instead of red ... not much differentiation in color between the signal lights and the parking lights.
Can you post a picture with brake lights on ?

My only issue from mine is a ECM error because of the Rear Fog Lights, I have added resisters but I can't clear the fault unless I disconnect the battery then once it is re-connected to avoid turning on the Rear Fogs.

Bought mine with LED already in the car.
Can anybody tell me which aftermarket brand?
The outer lenses are yellow/orange with red LEDs for brake lights.

But I haven't seen them with those amber outer lenses yet.

Car is dirty after a nice winter drive and the phone camera doesnt quite pickup the colors correctly but you get the idea


Heres Video (sorry for the poor quality)
They are great! Could you post a longer video?

The LED surroundings seem to be yellow, shouldn´t it be red?

Eddie - we need to get the cars out for a drive. I'm also in Philly (we're also friends on Facebook). We should hit cars and coffee in Malvern to check out some of the other 911s.

Could you post some more pictures or better yet, a video of the tail lights? I'm interested to see how bright the brake light is - since the brake, indicators are all a single row of LEDs.

Thanks
Shyam

They have a little red tint on reverse and turn signals, but it’s not much. They look really good.

Do any of the rear LED manufacturers make them with an LED rear fog?

One company used to make it with an incandescent, yet everything else was LED.
