not to dog on them, just not a personal fan on the first one looking cheap with the plastic / diffuser used for the lighting.

$600 isn't small change for me so I don't want to make a mistake with this.

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.

Video of option 2
Would love to hear if anyone has experience with either of these on thier 986? Mine is a base 2002.
Thanks in advance!
don't have any personal experience using the ones you're asking about specifically though i have seen them during my personal search for LEDS. not to dog on them, just not a personal fan on the first one looking cheap with the plastic / diffuser used for the lighting. Im attaching 2 images before for what i currently use, they look well worth the money and perform even better. Overall love the slight modern build they have though im sure you've already come across them before. Got these on ebay from a trusted seller and would recommend
Those look really nice, and it sounds like you're happy with them too! I had originally discounted them due to the price, but they're not actually that much more than the others.
Thanks so much for the pictures!
Assuming it's these:

I had those as well (Hamstuh showed), but they did not perform well.
Main complaint was too little light from them. The LEDs are aftermarket - they only mimic 718 tails.
The looks is great, but the performance not.
Amber turn was very dim. Brake light was not much brighter than the parking lights. In the end I returned them.
Hello forum… question for the group since we’re on the subject. Is anyone familiar and/or have used BM Town/porschelights.com for LED plug and play replacements? I’ve pasted the link below, the vendor is from the UK but has a lot of after-market items. I plan to replace the rear LED lights, 3rd tail light, and side indicators with this and/or similar products.
Any help or comments are welcome! Thanks as always.
