[I]2006 Cayenne Turbo S had leaky and fogged OEM Tail Lights that looked awful on this Marine Blue piece. Replaced with Spyder Chrome LED Tail Lights from CARiD.com. It took longer to remove the OEM and clean up the cavity than it did to hook up and install the replacements.<br/><br/>Two hex screws 5MM on tailgate side and one internal male stud stuck onto a plastic receiver inside near the outer edge. Protect your paint and use a plastic trim removal tool to help loosen the outboard edge.
Found lots of water in the OEM units that were removed. Lowest level of bulbs all had water damage. Replacement cleared the faults on the dash panel.

You might want to read first, then ask. They are 235$ on Amazon. I had them but i did not like them. I like the oem. I think the are too shine and too bright.
I do think the oem are way overpriced even second hand. People ask 200 for a 10 year old tail light with water in it.

Look very nice - unlit and lit up. One big difference over the stock ones (aside from no condensation on the inside like my stock ones have had for a while) - the backup light is now useable. The difference is amazing - much brighter, same bulb, just not masked by the red the stock ones have.
The turnsignal and reverse light are standard bulbs. The rest is LEDs. Plugged in - and they worked just fine. Well packaged and shipped quickly.
Fit and finish are fine - just make sure the wire from the body going to the lights doesn't bunch up around the one resistor pack for the LEDs. That kept the bottom from fully seating - but it took all of about a minute to figure out and install correctly.
I'm happy - might even keep me from looking for a post 2011 model soon..

Thank you everyone. This thread was very helpful.
The issue I was working to solve was the dim reverse lights caused by the dark red stock 2004 Cayenne tail light design. I had attempted to wire in bright LEDs to solve the problem of dim reverse lights, but no matter what I received faults. I even tried wiring in resisters to affect the low voltage draw of the LEDs, but I did not have any luck.
I went ahead and purchased the "SPPC L.E.D Taillights Red/Clear For Porsche Cayenne - Passenger and Driver Side" from Amazon for $235. It was a 10 min install, and they work fine.
