  • THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS PRE-ORDERED. WE ARE NOW IN MASS PRODUCTION AND EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE FIRST RUN AND BEGIN SHIPPING AT THE END OF JUNE 2026.

Designed to Belong: The Founders Parts LED Tail Lights for the Porsche 997.2 are direct replacements designed to modernize the rear end of the car without losing what made the 997 special in the first place. The design takes clear inspiration from newer 911 generations -- no weird shapes, no over-styled aftermarket nonsense -- just a clean, confident update that looks like it always belonged there.

Every Function Upgraded to Full LED: A full-width light pipe across the top handles parking light duty, high-output red LEDs take care of braking, amber LEDs for turn signals, and bright white LEDs on reverse -- all of it brighter and more modern than anything that left Stuttgart in 2009.

Plug-and-Play Installation: Installation is exactly as straightforward as it should be on a car like this: direct plug-and-play fitment using your factory wiring harness, two T25 Torx bolts, and zero error codes. If you can open the decklid, you can do this job.

Red or Smoked -- Both Street Legal: For finish, you have two options -- an OEM-inspired red lens for a factory-correct look, or a smoked setup for something more aggressive -- and both are designed to comply with FMVSS 108 regulations for on-road use in the United States. The optics and output levels meet federal motor vehicle safety standards across the board, and even the smoked lens retains a red reflex reflector inside the housing to keep everything legal.

The Bottom Line: Whichever direction you go, the result is the same: a 997.2 that finally looks as good from behind as it does everywhere else.

Plug n Play x Bolt on Fitment for all 997.2's:

  • 09-13 Porsche 911 Carrera
  • 09-13 Porsche 911 Cabrio
  • 09-13 Porsche 911 GT3 / RS

Porsche Design DNA

No weird shapes. No over-styled aftermarket nonsense. The Founders Parts LED Tail Lights for the 997.2 are clearly inspired by the newer 911 generation, and that's the point. Same iconic silhouette, updated to look like it belongs in the current decade.

Amber Signals. Red Brakes.

LEDS not from 2009

Nothing screams "its 2009!" like a bunch of individual LEDs. The Founders tails feature a full-width LED light pipe runs across the top as your parking light. High-output red LEDs handle braking. Amber LEDs for turn signals. Bright white LEDs on reverse. Every function modernized, updated, and brighter than the originals.

Easy to Install

100% Plug n Play

Direct replacement for the factory units. Fits perfectly. Uses your factory wiring harness. Won't trigger errors. Two T25 Torx bolts and a wiring connector - that's the whole install. If you can open the decklid, you can do this job.

Built with all-new modernized components to resist fading & yellowing like your old OEM Lights. Our lenses are produced from Mitsubishi Lupilon S3000UR Polycarbonate, and then protected with a UV-resistant surface coating (KCC3000 from Korea).

Your Call

Red or Smoked.

Choose the OEM-inspired red lens for a factory-correct look, or go smoked for something more aggressive. Either way, the result is the same: A 997.2 rear end that finally matches everything else the car has going for it.

No Asterisk

Street Legal.

The Founders Parts 997.2 LED Tail Lights are designed to comply with FMVSS 108 regulations for on-road use in the United States. The optics, output levels, and lens configurations meet federal motor vehicle safety standards - and even the smoked lens option retains a red reflex reflector inside the housing to maintain compliance. So you're not choosing between looking good and staying legal. You get both.

Testimonials

★★★★★

Hesitant at first...just wasn’t sure how the carbon fiber would look against the TDF Blue paint coming from color matched stock headlights which obviously match. But after the install, I was blown away. The carbon contrasts perfectly, adds a modern edge, and really doesn't look out of place at all. Absolutely love it.

Had to wait a while for them, but the lights are installed and working well, looking great! Thanks again, they were worth the wait!

I’m in Nevada where the sun absolutely destroys plastic lenses, and my Ferrari 360’s headlights had seen better days. The Founders replacements are everything I hoped for—crystal clear, OE styling, and they fit like a glove. Totally transformed the look!

I first tried a set of replacement lenses I found on eBay, but they kept fogging up and letting in moisture no matter how carefully I sealed them. Finally just bought the Founders Carbon headlights and the car looks so much better now. No more moisture, fit perfectly, and I haven’t had to touch them since. Worth every penny.

My original 360 headlights were yellowed and hazy...pretty much useless at night. These Founders Carbon headlights were the perfect fix. Not only do they look amazing, but the light output is a massive upgrade. Driving at night feels safer and sharper now. Wish these were available years ago.
