Anytime your adding a different bumper to the car your going have to get custom with the wiring install.

I have no personally done one of these cars but the lights fit the 997.1 GT3 bumpers i know for a fact.

I would assume you will need to tie the marker light to the side lights, the Turn signal tab to the factory and the Fog to the OEM fog harness. In some cases you may need to cut the existing plugs to do so and solder the wires direct.
The lights have red and black wire codes which red is positive and black is negative. I would also presume if your capable of swapping the bumpers a little electrical should not be that hard after you have modified a car to that level.

Well even in a 997.1, there are still just 3 lights: the headlights, fog lights, and turn signal. The fog lights and turn signal can account for 2 lights in your LED, but where does the 3rd light come from (it's certainly not the headlights). Does the side marker lighting come into play? Is that the 3rd light? And if that's the case, if the side marker lights go to your LED, then do they not light up or work (since their wiring is diverted to your LED)?

the bumper light has a T-10 which piggy backs on the side marker on the 997 there is a small bulb in the same housing as the for bulb that is a running light.

Fog light H11 and turn signal.

The turn signal will need to be cut and piggy backed onto the turn bulb in the head light assembly or you can extend the socket down it you don't want it in the head light anymore cut the wire about 2 inch back from the socket, extend the wires down and splice them to the turn signal on the DTR. leave the socket in the head light housing to keep the lamp sealed so water wont leak in, you may also way to seal the led DTR housing up as well for this mod.

The cayman does not have the extra parking light bulb linked to the side markers like the 997 have. so on theses light you could clip the t-10 end off and extend the wire up to the side markers and splice them in there so when the side markers are illuminated it will also illuminate the small strip in between the 2 led panels. I just got done looking at a Cayman we did the side markers on today and i think this answers your question.

The Cayman has parking lights (a small bulb with the circular fog lights). Does that come into play?

Here's a "how to install" article to make the conversion to a GT3 bumper on a Cayman. If you scroll down far enough, you'll see 2 pictures of the assembly. Can you take a look to see if this helps to answer if your light would work in such a set up?

not that I'm aware of. We offer a 1 year exchange warranty and we have not had any issues in the 100 plus sets we sell. The ebay one i have had customers bring in for install then be back with in 30 days with problems. also on ebay offers 30 day exchange and if they do go bad there really isn't any warranty unless you want to kill 3 weeks + and an arm and a leg to ship them to and from Taiwan.

We stand behind our warranty and we offer the best quaintly parts we can.

After reviewing the eBay post those are not the same lights as we carry. the part number is different part number and a different manufacture and your only getting a 30 day exchange. 85.00 to ship to Canada.

not that great of a deal if you think about it
