Then again we dont have much choice, i dont think they're going to change the style nor can i wait another 5 years for another update, i do hope they have the smoked version though, i might have to wait a bit to see if they have the smoked version

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.

Free Set for Test Fit s California 05 08 Porsche Boxster 987 Cayman LED Tail | eBay
can someone please buy and test this one out? please please post pictures of the fitment, i am very interested in this
Thanks
Oooooooh. Nice! I'm a little wary about what they'll ultimately cost, but I guess its wait and see. If its anywhere above $400 I'd rather get illuminated door sills (personally).
The 997 forum on 6spd has a 50+ page thread on
LED
tails still going on now covering the Dectane and Depo brands. Vendors like FVD, Maxspeed, Rotec and on Ebay sell them and prices run from $540 to $850. Some of the lights need sorting out with circuit boards needing resistors and possible overheating issues. It might be wise to see how the test-fit goes before jumping on the bandwagon.
+1 for waiting and seeing how the initial testers make out with this. I had Depo
LED
taillights on an
M3
and eventually removed them when some
LEDs
started blinking intermittently.
+1 on the waiting list. I don't understand why people complain when
LEDs
fail. this happens to oem
headlights
all the time. I always see burnt out
LEDs
in high end cars driving around.
Those are about what I expected. A very clean modern
led
look. I just hope they make them in smoked as well. Now to see if the gouge me eyes out with the pricing......:drivingskid:
thank you for the pics, those look awesome! and it fits perfectly as far as i can see, was it easy to fit? did you have to change wiring or was it
plug
and play? how much are they? do they sell more of these?
they installed and did everything for me for the test fit, they said they havent decided on pricing yet since they need to figure some stuff out. Everything fit perfectly, no error codes or anything.
Thank you for the info
I would probably buy them only at around 400 usd, max at 500, since these are depo brand only and should be cheaper than the
911s
Other depo tail lights arent even price these much..
I have to admit, I was quite a bit more hopeful..
At first glance they look very similar to
987.2
lights. After seeing the photo's, they look even more like them in the "run" and "brake" modes. That's fine except not everyone likes the tails on a
987.2
. Hear me out..
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of
LED
's in the rear and I've been searching and waiting for something like this long before I found my Gen 1. I just really want something more innovative and new and different, maybe something more like the current
911
's have.
On these and the Gen 2's, the running light "arch" doesn't have the flow like the long flat incandescent rears currently on our cars. NTM
LED
's this style are tiring out and light pipe is now the leading edge.
Can we at least change the wiring in this tail to have the flat row of
LED
's above the clear section as running lights instead of just having the same old look of a car that has already been remodeled/replaced?? I know some of you have been waiting 7 or 8 years for something like this, so why settle for the wanna-be hand me downs from a
987.2
??
Gen 2 owners have been flashing their
LED
's at us for years along with their DRL's and more power to boot... I just think it's finally time to have something even more awesome for ourselves..!!
With that said I also want to be grateful and give a big cheers to the guys working on this project. To have something new is waaaay better than nothing at all. Thanks
Tk
+1 on this
I was just thinking of this, i was hoping more like the 981 look, or something like the striaght line led, not the dotted style led.
Then again we dont have much choice, i dont think they're going to change the style nor can i wait another 5 years for another update, i do hope they have the smoked version though, i might have to wait a bit to see if they have the smoked version
Im just glad something is better out there,
While looking for pics, i saw this on google
SW LED Tail Light for Porsche Boxster / Cayman 987 red - tuning online kaufen
Looks better, darker red shade, led signals
has anyone posted about this or seens this?
Jat5944 can you take pictures for reverse fog and amber signal? Hopefully it looks as good
