Hello all. After doing a deep dive in the forum and e-shopping, I'm ready to replace my broken 997.2 tail lights. I'm having difficulties determining the difference between two options on parts geek.

Option 1 is Part Number: 30371-08035490; Notes: Taillight Lens -- Without option IXXG Clear Look Taillights.
Option 2 is Part Number: W0133-1939931; Notes: OE Replacement - w/o Clear Glass Look

What is the difference between the two options? Will they both work for the base 997.2?

Are those aftermarket part numbers - I don't recognize as Porsche parts? If aftermarket, can you attach a picture or better description?

Yes, they are both aftermarket made by ULO. Pics to follow shortly...

One of two possibilities. One may be the Euro version with a different pigtail connector. Make sure it's not that because it won't work with a US spec car unless you swap out the connector.
The second is the lights are exactly the same. One is for an OE pair. The other is a 'replacement' (which, when I inquired, was sold only as a single light but was inexplicably more expensive than buying the pair??).

EDIT: just saw you posted they were aftermarket. Then all bets are off.

Not sure how different they are mounted to the body compared to 997.1s, but only 1 bolt needs to be removed and the assembly can be pulled out. The part number should be on the housing to make sure you get the right part.
