I believe the .2’s have a different shaped housing tha the .1’s, as well as a different connector, so it’s not as easy as a direct swap. You’ll likely need to go aftermarket.

I did a 997.2 rear end conversion on my 997.1 a couple years ago.

Here is a list of parts you will need.

1. Rear Bumper Cover for 997.2. I found mine on Ebay and I got the latest Wide Body Bumper made for C4 models and mimics the GTS rear bumper with lower stone guard protectors.

2. Control Module -Part Number: 997-618-260-08 This module is under the driver seat. The original needs to be read by a durametric and take a photo or write down what options are turned on. Then the updated module is installed and the old codes are input on to the updated module. The exception is Activating "LED" rear lights.

3. L+R Small Bumperettes for 997.2 rear bumper

Part # 997-505-625-05 + 997-505-626-05

3. L+R Exhaust tip heat shrouds for 997.2 rear bumper

Part # 997-505-651-01-01-C + 997-505-652-01-01-C.

4. 997.2 LED Rear Tail lights

5. 997-505-628-00-01C Side lower Cover, RIGHT 997-505-627-00-01C Side lower Cover, LEFT (for wide body cars, a black plastic stone guard for undersides of rear bumper)

When installing the new bumper there is a small off center tab that runs underneath the top middle lip that screws in close to where you air box is. this little tab needs to be shaved/cut away. Also remove the lower center metal support bar off old bumper and apply to new one. Takes a bit of tugging and pulling, but it slips on . the lower support bars just behind the rear tires that attach to bumper are sometimes easier to remove from car and attach to bumper, then attach to car. hope that makes sense. If you shop around on ebay for most of the parts you are probably looking in the ball park of $2 grand all painted and installed.

Thanks for the details - OP might find it less work and certainly less costly to just buy some aftermarket LED taillights - look for DEPO brand.
