Porsche 911 997.1 (05-08) : Morimoto XB LED Tail Lights

Porsche: The 997.1 generation 911 is the last of the true analog Porsches before electric steering took over — and the rear end deserves just as much attention as the drive. The factory tail lights get the job done, but after 15+ years the lenses fade, the reflectors dull, and the lighting tech is a full generation behind what Porsche is putting on cars today. If the rest of your 911 is dialed in, the tail lights shouldn't be the one part still stuck in 2005.

Compatible: these are a direct bolt-on fitment for all Porsche 911 (997.1 chassis) model years 2005-2008, including Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, and Targa variants. They use all of the stock mounting points and connectors, and typically take less than an hour to install both tail lights.

Plug n Play: The Porsche 997.1 LED tail lights from Morimoto are true plug-and-play, connecting directly into the factory harness with no cutting, splicing, or coding required. US-spec and Euro-spec connectors are both accounted for, so the lights work with your factory wiring exactly as they left the assembly line.

Style: Styled after the sharper, more modern tail light look of later-generation 911s, these units clean up the rear fascia while keeping the silhouette instantly recognizable as a 997. The result reads as a natural evolution of the factory design rather than an aftermarket add-on.

Functions: The outer light bar acts as the parking light (red) and doubles as a high-intensity LED brake light. The turn signal and hazard function (amber) is isolated to its own section so it doesn't wash out the brake or parking light. A dedicated reverse light segment (white) is fully separate from the rest of the housing for cleaner, more precise illumination.

Well-Built: The housing is constructed from durable ABS plastic and mounts using reinforced OE-style mounting points to eliminate the cracking and rattling that plagues aging factory units. The lens is UV-treated polycarbonate, built to resist yellowing and clouding over years of sun exposure. All internal wiring and connectors are OE-grade for a reliable, factory-fit connection.
