It's due to the pending legislation governing LED brightness

Great pictures!!! White Boxsters look great....although I also love the look of Black ones as well (that is what I have). The smoked tailights really stand out on them!!!

I would imagine that their system tracks the going out numbers vs inventory... I sure hope so  you should get a free set for helping sell all their stock

Here's hoping they have enough "inventory" left they were trying to blow out to satisfy these orders!
You may be offered a sales job while you're there!

Murphy's law.
I put off this upgrade for well over a year because I kept finding other things to mod. I finally broke down and spent the darn $160 a month ago.
Now this!!!!! $40 bucks I couldve' saved!!!! damn you mod Gods.
$10K in mods and you couldn't even throw me a $40 bone! 
P.S.
LED tailights are great for the parking light function. I could see my car almost two blocks away. Whenever I'm in a dimly lit parking lot I leave the parking lights on to ward off any lookey loos (they'll think you're still in the car) or absent minded drivers that might back into me when pulling out of their spot. I've got a few nicks and bruises on the back bumper from not using this tactic sooner.

Just got the call..all out of smoked tails and won't be replacing stock anytime soon. Had to change to clear tails. I placed my order Monday around 3pm for anyone who was curious. I guess the smoke tails are back to the endangered species list

I received a Refund notice today from DDM Tuning for an order I placed yesterday for the clears. No explanation, just a refund notice. Will try to call them later today.

guess that's all folks. i did what i could. when i stop by i'll see if i can get an estimate on when they'll have new stock... albeit at this point i assume they won't, as i'm not sure Depo even makes new units anymore.
