I'd like to know how many are out there and too see some more pics of these lights. I personally think they look very elegant , also I was curious to know if it was something PK designed, and why did SF make them

Surprising paradise!
Surefire can always surprise us!
Unfortunately, I did not have a Porsche version of the Surefire light.:devil:
I look forward to your Porsche pictures.:wave:

I had a Porsche SureFire for a while. It was quite a nice little piece of engineering. However, Porsche got all cheap and went with something different rather quickly. I wouldn't be able to guess on production numbers, but it was quite low in SureFire terms. I'd almost venture to say that there were more E2W-BY WineLights out there...

I've never seen any packaging, other than a plain white cardboard sleeve/box that is the clay material that they make cereal boxes out of. The paperwork may be in a Porsche owner's manual, if any. I want to say they came with certain higher-end Boxster models, but I can't be sure. The original light was an E2e of sorts:

This is the one I had:
Porsche_E2-a.jpg


This is the light that replaced it:
Porsche_LED-a.jpg


It plugged into the cigar lighter socket (12V) and the LED glowed a dim red while charging. Once charged, it would glow green (I think). The primary light engine was a small LED like you find in an Arc AAA (probably a Nichia). They had a purple tinge to them.

that's awesome I've never heard of a light plugging straight into the cig lighter hole. Those are two very special looking lights

Hi James , what was Luis's post about

Guys I started posting on my WTB thread some of my the lights in my collection and one of the post was my Surefire Porsche light. I can't say how many where made but they seem to be truly rare I have only seen a couple of them here in the forums. I had been looking for one ever since I saw them for the first time here on a very old thread and I finally was able to buy one sometime ago.
I will edit the post with pictures once I make it to my computer.

Here is my Porsche light, sorry it took me so long to post them.








I thought this was a small light, but it's not small at all, I will try to shoot a new picture to compare it to another more more common Surefire light.
