Here is the Cayman LED...

Hi Slider..
thanks for pushing the 996TT LED tailight.

CarGym is actually located in HK, and I visited them 2 weeks ago to enquire about buying a set of 996TT LED taillight. They said they only have the version suitable for C2/C4, and there's still none available for the Turbo. I heard they manufacturer is in Taiwan.

I'll let you guys know when I can find the LED tailights from here (ie. China or Taiwan).

I live in Hong Kong so if can offer some kind of assistance just PM me. Happy to do it. Been waiting for a set myself.

And I'm in Hong Kong right now was well - let me know if I can do anything. BTW when I bought LED lights for my fish tank at the markets here all vendors I spoke to said to go with the Taiwanese stuff. My LEDs have been subject to the worst conditions possible for 3 years and are still going great, if they'd died after twelve months in the conditions I've subjected them to I would've been happy. Thinking they'd be the same I took a chance on 'high' quality Chinese versions, they lasted two weeks, I returned them to the vendor and he made me take Taiwanese versions as a replacement. If your lights are coming from Taiwan you should feel pretty confident they'll last!

Great job Slider!

With regards to design, even though the Cayman units look pretty cool, I think the 997/991 style looks even better:

Dectane 997.1:

Ultimately a 991 style would be stellar.

Yeah, guess that is a generation away for the chinese. But just leds will be a great upgrade for our cars either way.

I just saw this thread on another forum. There is a list and my name ain't on it! I thought when I posted in this thread I would be on the list. If they do ever come out, I want them. I joined the other site to sign up but for some reason can't post to the thread.

I just realized there is two different threads for LED's

Yeah - One of the vendor here just started posting about the LED's as if it was his idea. Apparently he has a line on the same factory I have been dealing with. There is no need to get on a list until the lights are actually being produced. It looks like around August for first prototype.
