The only option I have seen is swapping out the bulbs for LED's

I'm pretty sure there is a all red version of the lights out there, but I think an aftermarket company should come out with an LED set up, they'd make a killing!

Take a crayon and put a smiley face on each one. When you get tired of it you can wash it off.

lol

you may want to get in contact with m32 or precisionporsch on this board. they are importing led tails for the narrowbody porsches and the supplier may have a widebody light coming out if they spur enough interest.

they(the nb ones) can be found on ebay now and i might add that imo, they look very good.

as of now, i dont know anyone with aftermarket lights available at this time.

We have a set for the 996 NB's and have requested them to make them for the WB's but they aren't showing any interest right now. I'm guessing their reasoning is based on statistics... there prob a lot more NB's than c4s/TT's out in the market. I am trying my best to convince them

Most good body shops can do it. It is not expensive to have done.

Those look great! Wish they had some for the widebody. I would think they would sell very well? Their missing out on a huge market IMO

Let me tell you....please somebody do this request. I'm in if this happens!!! They look very nice, provides a very updated look plus most of us guys that for some strange reason our taillights have mysteriously cracked, it provides a good chance to replace them.
