Quick question on how brake lighting works?

Does it light up only half way? It looks like that in this picture... I wonder why?

That shot ins't capturing the entire array of LEDs because of the shutter speed, possibly. These things have a different hertz rate.

You are correct, it's the opposite of OEM 997.2 tails. When you press on the brakes, the 'C' shape lights up, the OEM has the 'C' shaped when the brakes isn't applied.

Notice the brake light in the middle isn't lit, the whole thing lights up.

I noticed this too, would have been nicer if it was a complete loop, but I can live with the 'C'

Yes, it fits a turbo, GT3RS, all widebodies, so it'll fit a 4S, it's one size fits all.

They are dectane's American distributor, Frank is charging ~$600 includes shipping while Carlight pro is selling the same product for ~$1,000. You decide who you want to buy from.
