I have had the new Porsche 997.2 LED tail lights for the last 3 months going back and forth if I should perform the mod. I was planning on waiting for Tech Art to produce a new GT Street Rear Bumper for the new turbo, but I doubt that is going to happen anytime soon since the new 997.2 turbo is not scheduled to debut until next year.

One of my good buddies happens to be an Electrical Engineer and figured out the wiring diagram, so my car is back under the knife for the LED tail light conversion. I am dropping the car off at the body shop on Monday. The Tech Art GT Street rear bumper will have to be modified to accept the new tail lights. I figure I have about 7 months of a head start before we start seeing 997 turbos with the new tails.

Porsche 997.2 led taillights now available on non turbos



Studio 3/4 Rear shot of my car, just imagine how good the new tail lights will look in place of the older non led ones.

 

Here are some pictures when I dropped off my car at the body shop today. Should have the car back next week. Going to install my new hood at the same time.

We mounted the rear tail lights on and there is not that much area that has to be filled in.

 

DTM Autobody just finished one side of my 997.2 taillight conversion. I have always loved their body work, and they are experts when it comes down to fitment. Here are some pictures of the current progress.

I would recommend everyone that likes the new look of the 997.2 led to do the modifications to the rear bumper. Its not that much work as you can see with the images. They make the car looks so much newer. When you compare the leds tails to the original 997, they 997.1 lights look so outdated now. This is one of the cheapest face lifts out there.

 

Doesn't look too bad, but I prefer the 997.1 lights more. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product though!

 

the first time when I saw the 997 come out when I had a 996, I thought the 996 looked so outdated. Now with the 997.2 led tail lights I get the same feeling.

All the other car companies are going with leds in the headlights and the tail lights it was time Porsche finally did it.

 

Man, I love this car and these lights should really spice it up.

 

Great mod, I want to do it to our 997 but want to go all the way and do the front LED's and new headlights also = expensive = staying MK1 for now.

 

I think you can skip the front, since its not that noticable. The rear is a different story.

 

Yeah it's not that noticable but I feel it will look cheap on a non-modded car like ours to only do the rear, on your car it will be sick!

 

Good work vince... Ill tell you, the LED Tails really complete the rear of the 997's.
