i bought a set a few weeks ago. put them on. they don't sit quite as flush as the OEM, but i can't really complain about them. i like the way they look and the removal of the amber is nice.

OEM...the aftermarket I looked at was very thin, flimsy plastic compared to the real deal. I'm sure there are a number of different manufacturers; I just got the wrong ones.

Thanks everyone for sharing your pics and feedback! I think I'll be placing an order over this winter during Porsche hibernation season.

I have the Depo models (bottom ones) and the fit and finish was pretty good... but I lost my rear foglight option with them. Is that true of the oher LED units out there?
