Yep I have stock LED's but some of these are very appealing to the eye.

i like the front led fogs on 997.2, but the individual led “bling” of the parking lights in the rear is not as nice as these lightbar style models in my opinion.

Good point. I wonder what bulb that is...

Is it the same as the normal rear light 7528 or P21/5W ?

You won't get any better than the OEM ones.

Should say on the bulb itself. Maybe printed on the base?

Probably the the same type as stock. ;-) Basic running light.

I installed both the Spec-D red/smoke and the VIP Motoz Red/Rosso. Below are comparisons. It was a tough call, but in the end I decided I liked the VIP Motoz better. A little more OEM-looking. The VIP Motoz in red/smoke are a little too dark on my black car, but I think the red/clear would have too much white/chrome in the middle (I might give them a try, though).

I'm going to be returning the Spec-D lights unless someone wants to buy them from me.

Pictures & videos below
(Note: the parking lights are all a consistent red - they just look pink or orange in the camera).


The Spec-D has a nice deep/wide lightbar


The VIP Motoz have a smaller (shorter, narrower, and less deep) lightbar with more "empty space" around it.

Which VIPMotoz is this? The regular red (Rosso), not the burgundy?

Yes, Regular red (Rosso). Even though that their normal red, it’s a bit darker and deeper red than the stock OEM reflectors.

Someone else posted pictures of the burgundy and they look almost black. Even darker than the SpecD’s I tried.

I know there are 3 current threads on this topic, but I want to thank everyone for posting such a comprehensive comparison. It really helped me make a decision on which way to go. I feel the VIPMotoz look awesome and look like they are OEM. But really, I can't see anyone being unhappy with any of these options, they all look great.

happy to help. I too was having a hard time getting a clear comparison which is why I ended up buying both. Looks like I’m out shipping costs but it was worth it for a confident decision.

Sorry for all the cross-posting, I figured it was helpful for everyone to see it all.

Next step: finding a red fog light bulb that is clear when off.

Can anybody post a link from where they bought the VIPMotoz one? They seem to be out of stock on ebay. Or if anyone is selling.... Thanks!

I'm also looking to finally swap out my stock tail light on my 997.1 to the LED ones. Any thought/comment on the Nordlicht LED tail lights sold by D911?

i've emailed VIPMotoz via their website, their ebay store and Instagram page. I got a response from a gentleman named John who states they have no ETA for return of the rosso red lamps. I should've picked em up back when I was looking, late 2020. Welp.
