Yeah, the OEM rear lights makes the 997 a decade older then it should be. IMO.

Whomever says these tails with that *** don't look amazing is nuts.

I upgraded the turn signal bulbs to LED bulbs to get instant on blinkers without junking it up with aftermarket wannabe housings.

At first I was tempted to upgrade to LED's, but I evolved to appreciate the factory look and appreciate keeping it factory. And aftermarket parts like that are always a let down either from a functionality or fit and finish perspective.

How did you do that?

Totally what happened to me. I agree 100%. The car would bring frustration eventually and I want to enjoy the car with no BS. The OEM red tails I installed look way more impressive than those dectane LED housings IMO.

I bought the best quality bulb replacements I could find and then spliced into the wires to add a resistor to each bulb. Taped them up nice nice and I have had no issues. I only stripped a bit of the wire to expose the copper so I didn't cut the wires. Note I almost decided to use red bulbs instead of orange but safety first. See video below:

I have factory front bumper, but not the rear spoiler. Im also missing the bottom little lip, but i dont “miss” it. Good clearance, and clean look. I like it.
