Default Anyone here have Depot's newest tail lamps?

I have Depot tail lights now, but stumbled across their newest style {991ish}. Curious if anyone has them yet. Depot quality is nice so I hope these will be as nice too.

Not a fan of those. The 997 is so much better looking than the 991 and way better than the 992 - I'm not sure why anyone would want to make their 997 look like the newer style car with the squinty taillamps. Next, non 4S owners will be adding reflectors across their decklids too.

991 Style rear light Yes or No poll

Yikes. I would've never know what to put in search for those. Thanks for the link. I'll assume they wont be selling a ton of those from the dislikes. I don't love em, but I don't hate them either. I certainly wont pay for a set when my current Depots still look new.

One mod I would not spend my cash on!

hmmm, I'm actually a fan of aftermarket LED tails and do plan to get a pair for my .1

I don't know about these though, props for the thought on their behalf but I feel like if I had a .2 I'd be leaning more to a no on these.

This was my 987.1 before I brought my 911 home. These were LED "tube" style with sequential turn signals. The same vendor makes a version for the 997.1 and I have been eyeing them for the near future.

Can you post a link of the 997 ones. Curious to see what they look like.

I like led tails too, just not those skinny 991/992 style versions.

Dang, I haven't pulled them up in a while. Looks like their site, eBay links and even Amazon links all say out of stock. Could be pandemic related, meh.

I much prefer the OLED (tube LED) style, than the string of separate LED bulbs tracing a line or shape

I actually like those. Wonder if they have a smoked edition as I'd rather the lens look more uniform and not so segmented which is why I have the lightly tinted Dectanes on my car now.
