Third brake light LED upgrade

Just beware..I had a bad experience a couple of years ago when I purchased 2 similar from a well known UK Porsche independent parts supplier. They triggered dashboard warning lights & I subsequently discovered the lights needed additional resistors fitting to prevent this. In the end I returned them as I did not want the hassle of DIY amendments & I'm not very practical at such things. FWIW I think they look great...so if this supplier has this issue sorted I'd go for it. Worth a phone call to Italy to check ?

Nicholas.let me know how you get on. If they don't generate warning lights I'll be buying 2 new ones myself!

I think that some of the LED units could mess up cruise control, as the brake lights aren't high enough resistance. it can also be an issue with early 9x7 cars, which have bulb monitoring in the control units. (Later ones used LEDs and there is a setting for them in the control unit). The 996 lighting system is all hard-wired, so apart from the cruise issue with the brake light, they generally work OK.
