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

Has anybody tried any aftermarket tail lights? The oem ones are a little pricy and I see some nicer aftermarket ones for a lower price.

POST 2Original post

I have smoked Depo tailights. I love them and modernized the car 996 aero with depo tail lights. My 993 aero behind.

POST 3Original post

Options for the Narrow body cars are pretty good. Wide body cars like mine are limited.

POST 4Original post

I have a brand new set of Depos that the owner shipped to me in one box with not protection...The lenses got destroyed.

Where can you buy a set of smoked Depo taillights?

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 16075892

Not sure....I bought them from a RLer on this forum.

POST 7Original post

I bought Spyder taillights from Carid. We lug and play and the look a lot like the street corner set. I kept the stock set if I ever decide to sell the car though I doubt it.

POST 8Original post

I have had both the Depo and the Spyder lights. The Depo are better made but they are in the 997 pattern which I decided I didn't like. I use the Spyder lights, they look great, work great, and look like an LED version of the 996 pattern.

POST 9Original post

I have two sets of stock taillights. I might sell off a set and get some of the LED ones. I think I like the looks of the Depo blacked out ones most.

Your taste is spot on...when my son is driving and I am driving behind him they look fantastic. Some folks struggle with the fact that they look like 997 lights but I am ok with that since my 996 is almost all 997 mechanicals anyway.,🙂

Mine kinda looks like a 997 from the front already, so I'm not bothered by the tail lights looking like a 997. I've had people tell me I shouldn't modify my car from what the factory built. (I changed my profile picture due to the hate messages) These same people love Singer and Magnus Walker, and Sharkwerks. I don't get it. I bet if Magnus built a 996 with headlight covers and LED tail lights, they would call him a genius!

You just need to grow a long shaggy beard, create a bunch of modified Porsches and become famous and you'll also be called a genus

POST 13Original post

Quotes source post: 16076737

Ha, I have a beard, and the length sometimes is a bit long. I've been mistaken many times for Jamie Hyneman, so I'm almost famous. I've had Customs in NY, TSA in Midland TX, Police in Houston, people walking down the street in LA, and people in restaurants all over ask me if I was "the MythBuster's guy." My family now doesn't react when I'm asked that. (Ho hum, nothing new) It has happened MANY dozens of times. The most recent was last weekend at Sea World in San Antonio. But I'm no genius...nor famous. Want to know what TexSquirrel looks like, watch MythBusters.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all the insight. I found a pair of smoked spyders for a little above 300 I think I�m going to purchase.

POST 15Original post

Quotes source post: 16076778

I love what you have done with your car...996s are so much fun to mod!

POST 17Original post

Reviving this old thread.. Can anyone with these tail lights chime in on how long they've lasted through the years? Still having dead LED problems? Would you still recommend them several years later?
