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.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Are these lights any good? I think for 300$ they will make my car look way newer, anyone got these? and comments? http://www.ebay.com/itm/170660922895...84.m1423.l2649 thank you

POST 2Original post

I like the updated look of LED lights, but remember this: you get what you pay for. These will not be the same quality as Porsche OEM tail lights.

POST 3Original post

In general, it is a bad idea to use LED's in a system that was not designed for LED's. Being that they use much less electricity, it will throw off your entire electrical system. For example, your signals will probably blink faster, and I believe that I read in the sticky "Things you didn't know about your 996" thread a whole bunch of other problems that they will cause. I would not do it.

POST 4Original post

All the led tail lights seem to come from the same manufacturer. There are many members here that have installed them. Do a search. They don't seem to cause significant problem. Sometimes resistors are needed.

POST 5Original post

I got some and they look great in smoke and work fine for me. Easy install, upgrade, and no leaks. Just my personal opinion.

POST 6Original post

I have a set and they work just fine and look great. I did purchase a electronic flasher to fix the hyper blinking.

POST 7Original post

Oh, as Doug said.. Do a search and you will find a bunch of posts

POST 8Original post

I just installed them on my 2000. No hyper flashing and was plug and play. They aren't the highest quality but for the price my car looks a bit more modern. 300 bucks was a cheap mod.

POST 9Original post

So these plugged in with no hyper blinking issues?

POST 10Original post

The LED tail lights are very very nice ... Really gives the car a modern look. By-standers always think my car is a 997.

Then they think it's a GT1

For me they plugged right in and no hyper flash at all. Besides blowing a fuse in the process of installation, it took all of 15 minutes. Downside is now my front end looks like crap but there are ways to address that in time.

POST 14Original post

https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-thread-2.html go to this thread and read from post #26 forward... I have done LED upgrades on various different vehicles and it always seems to be a crap shoot... you may or may not experience problems, but it's up to you...

POST 15Original post

Hyper blink is a possibility, so to avoid the "potential" just purchase an electronic flasher from superbrightleds and enjoy. I have a 99 and the LED's taillights have been installed since early summer.
