Hey....

Insaw those too... I think they are a bit cheaper because they are a “smoked lens” Maybe not as popular?
Not sure they have the sequential signal too.

i live in Port Moody. ;-). Would be great to catch up
sometime.

I got the same ones:

BEWARE - you will need to put some packers underneath the bottom edge of these lights, mine started digging their way into the top of my rear bumper. Check your clearances....

I saw your license plate already insured Jan 2020 :-). Mine is still in garage :-( Anyway, Let see how we can get our little local East of Vancouver Porsche club going, Maybe using modern Slack for communication ? since it's much better than using Forum/Messaging.

Your username lead me to this :-), very nice family. Which one is you?

Those look great, do you have some daytime photos? Would also love to see them from further back. Cheers!

Humm, Can't find one on Ebay that fit 2009-2012 997.2. If you came across one, please post. Thanks

Very nice! Are these the red/clear, or "rosso burgundy" ? I'm thinking about the burgundy ones which are slightly smoked to knock down the "bling" factor on the clear LEDs in the middle.

Also, do you have any pictures of them while OFF in the sunlight?

Glad people are still doing this mod. Means there'll likely be a good supply of minty OEM lights for cheap. The cost of new ones from Porsche is staggering.

i like the look of 991s and Macans where the clear part is a dark gray rather than white. I’m thinking red/smoked would be better.

Are yours the sequential orange turn signal? How does that look in real life?

I went Red/ Clear because it matches the rest of my lenses and window glass better.

The sequential turn signal? It's amber. I'd of preferred just the red ring to flash, but it looks good as it is... they look natural for the car.

They appear to be a quality set of lights.

Those are them. ;-)

Yep. I like the sequential look. The lights themselves are slightly heavier than the stock lamps. Good solid build. Super happy with them.
