986 LED retrofit
 
HI,
I am an industrial designer and electrical engineer. With the help of Additive manufacturing ( 3D printing ) I plan to retrofit the original Housing of the 986 tail lights with LED technology . I saw what is available on the market and i decided to design my own.

I am inspired by this:

Does anybody have some 986 taillights in bad shape so i can make a functional prototype?

I will post all the details of this adventure in hope that somebody will be inspired to do the same

Cheers,

Manuell

Check the parts for sale thread. itsnotanova is parting out several, he might have a set, best prices and great service.

I have a set of Depo taillights. They're just taking space in my house.

I have a set you are welcome to have. Some scratches and one is chipped.
Off a 99 I think, but should fit most early (<=2002 I think).

Maybe we can barter a deal for a mocked up set of LEDs when you're done :-)

I'm in Austin.

Mike
