One thing I will say from watching other people mod tail lights and head lights is NEVER GET RID OF THE STOCK ONES NO MATTER WHAT!! All these aftermarket ones (and even the 997.2 ones) will look dated in time IMO. I especially feel this way after having everyone poo poo in their pantalones when I first had my B8 Avant with the Audi LED DRL headlights. 5 years later, I felt they looked dated and I was looking for a way to just turn off the LED DRLs or get upgraded ones but with my 997.1, it doesn't have that stuff, so I won't be chasing the dragon each time new LED lights come out and make the old ones look...old. I AM FREE NOW!! Haha. ...but seriously, IMO, do not mod or get rid of your stockers!!
+1 on keeping stock tail lights. To me, the lines look cleaner and feels true to the car.
I looked at all the aftermarket LED tail lights for my 997.1 c4s, and finally decided that none of them looked better than stock 997.1. I eventually went with the full 997.2 update and the clear tails. I couldnt be more happy with the update. Highly recommended. It just seems to be an overall much cleaner modern look. And at night in use, they look incredible.
My advice... skip the aftermarket and just do the 997.2 rear update if you want the LED tails.
Mine is midnite blue. I think it's a bit much wht/chrome. I should of get the smoked version. But oh well. I can always give it a light tint. Too lazy to do it..lol.
I did a quick cheesy photoshop & I think I like it..

Yeah, even with the quick photoshop it looks a little better. My ideal would be a 991-style look, or the new macan. I saw the lights today on a dark gray macan and they are definitely smoked.
My my only concern would be if the light tint would make the brake lights too dim.
Is the thin brake light really bright and noticeable?

they look plenty bright to me, & yeah I too worry about the brightness if it's dark. I guess one way to find out & just tinted if I ever get to it. lol
