LED Tail Lamp for 987-1

[white]

Hi,

I doubt the MY2009 Boxster's LED Tail Lamps fit onto the earlier 987s.. Is there anyone who can confirm this? Also is there any aftermarket LED Tail Lamps that fits the earlier 987s if the new LED lamps doesn't fit? Will the system be affected if such lamps are fitted?

Likewise for the front Headlamps.. pretty much different in shape for the front as well? Maybe changing the whole bumper to fit the new lamps?

You are correct, the new lamp units will require the new bumpers to fit. The may also be differences in the wiring and mounting trays.

LED units typically run much lower power and resistance to conventional items. As a result I would expect both the front and rear control units to be different items on LED equipped cars. This would be the only way to prevent bulb failure warnings and errors as seen when fitting LED bulbs to a 987 Series 1. You could start by checking the 2008 parts listing for a 997 Gen 1 and Gen2 for the front and rear control unit.
