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 ordered mine from Gert but they have been sitting in the FedEx depot in Memphis for the past 5 days with a "Customs Clearance Delay" and they still have not moved out to me.
Very frustrating but not the fault of Carnewal.
US customs wanted to know the VIN nr of the car.
That's a procedure where they try to find out if these parts are for private use or for resell. We have completed the necessary form and the shipment will be released tomorrow.
I bought smoked for my seal greay. It is a tad darker than the "clear" sidemarkers which are smoked almost perfectly for the seal grey. So I'm thinking it will be a bit too dark, but the clear would be way too light. I haven't installed it yet so I can't say for sure. There are 16 red LED's, I believe.
I use LED's from Jam Strait

194-HA's work great. I used the HR's in my stock third brake light.
Edit: Oops, I replied before reading thoroughly. You were referring to turn signal bulbs and my reply refers to side marker bulbs. I'll leave my post in case anyone is interested in side marker bulbs.
with our dark cars i think this is a mod to be left alone.
The red brake light really pulls the red wrap around forward. Ties in with the calipers etc.
personal choice though!
Yours is artic silver right? I think the clear would look nice.. I'm leaning towards the smoke for my seal grey.. Who knows, maybe the contrast in the clear will look nice also.. what to do, what to do...
I installed the 'smoked' version in my Seal Grey Targa and it looks great. I don't have a picture here at the office, but I am very pleased with the choice.

Come on, guys.
It is a tiny brake light for $120. By far the cheapest mod to date on my car.
You have cars that cost $80K-$150K.
Just go for it and get one! You will love it.
hahahah i've done the clear side, the bumper plugs, the membership dues, but I have not tried the rejex. wth is that? does zaino count? Oh and no orange peel mod either..
looks damn good - how long to fit?
i am thinking smoked for my zenith blue 996, i'm in the UK right now and apart from bombs on the tube i'm missing my wife and 911!!!!!
riozilla,
Awesome pics, thanks for posting. Those are the clear right? Looks like they match up pretty well to the clear portion of the brake and reverse lights. I think I'll also go with the clear on my black 996; I think the smoked may be too dark, darker than the clear side markers.

Strange......, why has no one yet discovered that the cruise control doesn't work with LED high mount brake light?
I had to add a minature 12 volt relay and wire a 20 watt halogen through the NC contacts so that my cruise control wasn't disabled. Apparently the cruise control is automatically disabled if the high brake light bulb(s) are open.
I was trying to figure out the same thing for my black/black C4S. I was thinking about getting the smoked, thought the clear ones might stand out too much against the black. Your thoughts?

This seems like an important post!
Also, when the wing goes up it covers that light, and there's another red brake light on the movable wing.
For fixed wing cars I would definitely do this mod!
Erik,
Yeah I am not sure. The smoked third brake light is definitely darker than my clear side markers and the clear is definitely lighter. The smoked may be a good match for the darker portion of the rear lights closer in to the trunk lid but the clear 3rd light seems to match the outer portion of the rear lights. If I had black painted wheels to match my blk 996 I would definitely go with smoked. These are the decisions that plague me! Let me know what you decide and post some pics. If I move on them first I'll do the same.

Gert,
What do you think of the cruise control issue?

This must be a result of the lower impendance of the LED's compared to the normal bulbs. I don't suffer from this issue since my GT3 doesn't have cruise control
