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.

I recently saw a 996 with the early lights and fell in love with them. I�ve already �backdated� my 1999 from litronics to admittedly boxster egg yokes but the tails remain. The amber tails look so much better on these early 996�s to my eyes. I wondered if anyone has them and is open to give them up. I�m sure I�m not the first to �backdate� a 996. Right?
I�m also selling off my 987 and 997 turbo to go more 986 / 996 and if I can land a GT3 I am 80% sure it will be backdated to a 996.1 Aerokit. In SY it GR.
Here�s a pick of what I�m talking about
Technically if you have a 99 you arent 'backdating' it, you're installing the correct parts back on the car.
I have one that has some hairline cracks that you can have for shipping plus a few bucks for the box and the hassle. This way you can try it out and see if you want to go all the way
Mines 1/99 and was optioned with litronics which have the clear indicator. As far as I can tell it came with the non-amber tail lights to match. I think I just fell on the other side of the changeover to differentiate from the Boxster. And I�m always amused that mine was fully imported from Canada
That comes down to production date. My 1/98 build has amber, later 98 and 99 builds had clear (though ive seen some with amber as well) In general, early non-litronic cars got amber for sure, however porsche was a mixed bag in those years.
