It really does look great, but…

Like with Audi’s animated turn signals, my first thought it was great and then every other brand added animations to the light. The same will happen to this, I’v seen other brands do it already, and for me it already lost the cool factor. VW is adding it to every EV, new Audi a5 has it, Renault is doing it and this will probably continue.

Not my cup of tea, but this guy says the 2022 Taycan he drove has it. Also, when I was retrofitting the Euro lights to my Taycan, I figured a few things out, so my guess would be you'd need:

1. New tail lights
2. Run extra wiring between BCM2 and tail lights (similar to suggested here)
3. Recode BCM2 to enable

The guy from the video is clueless and obviously has been given the car for five minutes to review it.

I've seen a number of taycans on the autoban with it and it doesn't look good at all in person. I was thinking it's a missed opportunity that it doesn't glow (could be an option in the PCM) but then I've seen it in person and honestly I wouldn't consider such retrofit. This said, there's a different number of pins coming out from the lightbar and the module has to be flashed most probably so it's surely not something you can do without help form the dealership which you won't get because they are want you to purchase the new model...

One reason to get the illuminated logo light bar that hasn’t been mentioned is when it is not illuminated it appears black, if you do not order it, you have a reflective, shiny silver Porsche lettering on the back of your car. If you’re trying to be understated or all black the light up logo is going to be the way to go.

I like very much the sleak, clean look of my black lightbar with the hardly recognizable "Porsche" non-illuminated.
It's "understatement" on a very present design.

A black rear logo has always been an option for older Taycans (and a super easy retrofit, for about the same price as optioning it from the factory). You can buy it at places like this and install it yourself - no computer recoding necessary. I got one for my car (though I got the Euro version with amber/orange turn signals so I had to do some extra work to get those to function).

True, but it doesn't take much clue to notice that the rear logo lights up. He just thought it was stock.

Are these there to remind you of what kind of car you bought?

You know.... in case you forgot.

Quick question for those of you that have/don’t have it in the 2025. Can you turn it off if you want? Also if you don’t get it does the full light bar remain illuminated?

Thanks!

The Porsche logos follows the back light function, but have its own start-up sequence.
I think it looks really cool, but that` s me.

People have preferences. Just because they don't align with yours doesn't mean they are wrong. I've seen videos of people completely blacking it out with film, which I don't prefer but it's their car.

I think the new Taycan lighted "Porsche" looks pretty nice. However, I would like it dimmer than the example image above.
