LED Tail lights

However, I could be wrong about this. Do you guys know if the resistors would put out more heat than the bulbs would?

That's strange. Your reverse and fogs use the same bulbs as before, there are no LEDs for those, so they should work as before 0regardless of having change the light assembly to the new one.
The LEDs connected should now have replaced only the brake/main light dual filament bulb, and the signal bulb.
Given that you have the signals working, but blinking fast, means you will need the resistors.
As for the brake/main light LEDs, you should check the connection again to see if you have inserted the dual filament style bulb base from the new light (it has the base but no bulb) to the car's bulb connector.

The reverse lights aren't LEDs. The LED tails uses the exact same bulb & sockets the OEM tails use. If they worked before with the OEMs, they should work now with the LED tails. Something else may be wrong there....fuse, burned-out bulbs, wiring, corrosion in sockets, etc......

WOW, that looks great! Amazing how such a subtle change really improves the look of the 996 rear end. Very modern looking:-)

Led all around.
Hello all,
I just received my new led tail lights in the mail. I was suprised there is no oem type pig tail on the new tail lights. Must I reuse the pigtail from the stock assembly? If so, is this reversible???
Do the new leds need to use some of the old oem parts?
For that money $500.00+-, I thought these tail lights would be 'plug and play'.
After reading the last 14 pages I am more confused than before.
Has anyone done a step-by step? With photos, diagrams, and schematics?
Thanks.
