RED TAIL LIGHTS

[DSM2]

I see on the 'build your car' function, Porsche GB web site, that there is an option of 'Red tail Lights', described:

Entirely red lens: Function and dimension of tail lights correspond to standard lights

I don't remember this being an option when I specced my 997 a few months ago. Is this new and if so why?

Its a new option as of 2007.

Just one more way to extract money from buyer's wallets.

"Sir, you must tick the red tail lights box so that everyone can see your car is a 2007 version!"

To the best of my knowledge this is a very recent addition, how can it be for 2007 models, we are almost on MY08 aren't we?

Have had them fitted on my 997, due for collection on Saturday. The lights are from the tequipemnt range, and were fitted at the dealership, so expect that can be post fitted to all 997's.

Seconded

Was only wondering why they have just recently appeared on the normal option list. I'm sure they weren't there even a month ago.
