Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Seeking experience and recommendations as to best unit to fit 986

POST 2Original post

All 986 clear third brake lights fit and I'm fairly certain that there is only one Taiwanese maker, so...

POST 3Original post

Yeah, I got think I got mine off of eBay. The box says Huntington Technologies. Pretty sneaky of those Taiwanese Fits and works well. The old unit was a little fiddley to remove, though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

POST 4Original post

POST 5Original post

I wasn't aware of that, but I prefer the clear look. If it yellows in a few years, I'll just buy another one as it didn't cost that much. Of course, I still have the OEM red. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

POST 6Original post

Going to work on fitting a 987 unit. I think the only difference is in the wiring connector. Going to look into that more since I have a 987 on hand to try.

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 524937

Mine's about 5 years old with no signs of yellowing. Car is garage kept and is rarely parked in the sun if that makes any difference. One bank of lights did go out last year (1/3 of the lights). Mine was from Ebay, about $90 as I remember. And I too prefer the clear on my Arctic Silver Boxster.
