juniinc, it seems that the 1156 can substitute for the 7506. did you have any fitment and/or power problems, or did you just plug it in and it worked? i remember once trying to fit an 1156 or 1157 into the bulb holder, and on one of them (i can't remember which) the metal 'nubs' didn't line up correctly with the bulb holder. so i wanted to see if you had this issue with the 1156 or if it just worked perfectly.

i see that the 1156 can also substitute for the 5007. but in the Boxster's rear lenses, you need to use a 5007 because a 7506/1156 won't fit thru the bulb hole. i wonder if this LED bulb is small enough to fit through the 5007 hole in the rear lenses. i suppose you could Dremel the 5007 hole a little bigger if so inclined. ;)

[juniinc]

no problem with mine, but U cant really noticed the difference.

Yes, they do have small enough LED's for the 5007. Infact I purchased a set from AUTOZONE($13.95) but couldn't really tell even in the dark, so I ended up taking em back but I guess LED will last forever?

ok, so it sounds like they fit and work. what do you mean you can't notice the difference? do you mean you can't notice the difference compared to a normal non-LED bulb?

regarding the AutoZone bulbs, what do you mean you couldn't really tell even in the dark? do you mean the bulbs were not bright enough? or that you couldn't tell that they were LED?

sorry, i'm a little slow today... ;)

[juniinc]

Yes Chris, pretty much everything U said above.

LED wasnt too much brighter , I couldn't even tell if they were regular bulbs or LED's

have you considered the LED tail lights on eBay? some of them are very 'rice', but this is one set that i could live with. i've read about one person that bought them and he really likes them and says that they are plenty bright. i may give them a try.

:clapping: I have had these on for a couple of months now. They are bright enough. I must take some pics at night to show it.

cool!

yes, if you could take some night pics as well as a close up of the entire rear end (so i can see both lights at the same time) that would be great.

honestly, they don't look too different from the OEM tails. are yours smoked or clear? i can't tell.

does anyone want to buy my OEM clear tails for a discount? ;)

[lucky_topher]

does anyone want to buy my OEM clear tails for a discount? ;)

actually, yes.. PM me a price :)

They are smoked, hopefully this will show it a little better:

There are a bunch of more at my MySpace page (link below). :D

I got them from this Ebay dealer:

I don't know if they still sell them, but there are plenty of others.

I tried to take some evening pics, but they did not come out too great. So, later for those.

[Chris_in_NH]

thanks for the pics. yes, those are better.

i have found a few sellers of these lights on eBay,so there shouldn't be any problem getting a pair.

here's a pic of somebody else's car with the non-smoked version that i will be getting.

for your car, have you considered the LED 3rd (raised) brake light? i have the 'clear' one on mine, but there is also a smoked version. i got it from Bumperplugs. com for $80 or so. i think it would look good on your car. here, i doctored one up for you. :)

I'll be getting something else. My plan includes decklid w/o dent for 3rd brake light (eurostyle) and Gemballa/Aerokit style wing, possibly Carbon, with brake light. Something like this:

Also 997 GT3 style front bumper cover & rocker panels are in plans for the summer... :jump: :jump:

Mna, the smoked lights look great on the car. Now hook a brother up and put up a video of that bad *** exhaust you have there...Jon

They seem to be bright enough for me?
