Default Aftermarket / New Style tail lights for .1

Anyone try these out? Im always a little hesitant on aftermarket lights - but these actually look kinda OEM'ish to an more updated design. Looks like there are 4 different versions from clear, smoked, and red options. Tempted to get a set to try.

Never seen them, look cool but gotta pass on them. Those are Pep Boy Mods. Don't do it. Keep your Porsche OEM +.

yea thats my concern - dont want it to stand out as 'ricer' mod. If they look more OEM'ish than its a bit tempting. The red/clear version is the one i think looks most OEMish.

I actually very much like the red ones. Doesn't look like SW ships to the US though.

The black and clear ones look bad, the red ones look very oem ish. The taillights are the worst looking part of the car, so I'd love to upgrade.

Lots of other sellers including Amazon. Although I don't see the red version I like... (this seller has the clear and the dark red (too dark imo).

Thats the key point. The red/clear is the only one I would consider as the others look cheap and cheesy. I've contacted SW and they will ship to the US. I'm waiting on a quote with shipping. In the meantime, I have photoshopped (i'm not pro...) them onto a white 958.1 S like mine to get another idea of how it would look:

@Quadcammer - Thanks for the PS - I have .1 white as well so good to see what it may look like. If they were slightly darker would look even better. I'd say red / clear looks best... with the black / smoked being 2nd choice. If you can PS that as well would appreciate it.

Those look pretty good to me as I don't care much for the OEM lights either. Thankfully, my 2016 model has the smaller lights.

I do have to admit that those lights look great. A total OEM style update. Looks like a Taycan

It’s a more updated modern look.

I like it honestly, but not enough to pull the trigger. I just did the GTS taillights instead.
