Re: LED backlights for 997 first generation
Now these are looking muuuuuch better than the first ones! 
I think it's because the white parts mimic the shape of the original 997.2 lights much better than the lights that were posted by easy. At least that is when the lights are off. I would be interested to see them in the dark now, Lars would you be so kind?

For me they are absolutely what I'm looking for. Looking almost like the 997.2. taillights.
This ones are a lot better indeed! Good choice!

Re: LED backlights for 997 first generation
reginos:
If the rears are changed, then something must be done for the front side/parking lights too. These wouldn't match the more modern rear LEDs. Anyone suppliers front LEDs? Perhaps Techart?
Techart has some front LEDs. Unfortunately they are not integrated in the bumper-lights. So I dont like it as they would look like just cheap tuning. Further on, the rear LEDs are plug and play, but for the front you have to do additional wiring.
Re: LED backlights for 997 first generation
I would never install additional LED daytime running lights at the front of a 997.1. If you plan to install LED at the front, they have to be integrated into the OEM foglights/indicators.
Doesn't RUF have a solution for that?

Re: LED backlights for 997 first generation
Very nice.
I have a much older 911. I converted mine to run on LED's. I kep the standard lenses, but the effect was an overal improvement in brightness.
It was also very cheap that way too.

Re: LED backlights for 997 first generation
I've seen one yesterday in Zürich. First I thought it was a 991 and from the back I saw that it was a 997.1 with LEDs.
Have to say it looked good, but I wouldn't do it myself. I personally would consider the LEDs but not the 991 spoiler.
