997.1 Dectane LED Lights installed

I have been sitting on the sidelines after reading some of the issues here and on another forum with failure and poor customer service. Wonder if the other options - Rotec, or the new entry from DelRAYCustoms, has similar issues?

Rottec and Ray provide a good product and great customer service. The customer service issues re Dectane/Depo I believe have more to do with dealing with a vendor in Germany. I bought the Dectane/Depo from a domestic vendor, have had them on the car for almost a year and no problems at all.

I contacted him, he wanted me to bring cash and take the lights. I felt like I was buying speakers at a gas station and just didn't feel right. Others have bought from him and have been OK, to be fair to the guy, just not for me to conduct a transaction this way.

If I could I would rather take delivery and inspect and not depend on the the carriers to deliver unscathed...plus you get to meet your vendor - all we know about "Frank" is his name and he's far away.

Any updates on the Dectanes?
I have read the usual regarding condensation issues and "check light" indicators?
Some of you have had these in for a few years now?
Whats the consensus?
From what I have read on here; some people are installing the resistor and others aren't?
I think the resistor is required to fool the system that the incandescent lamps are okay..therefore if the resistor isn't installed the system will see a low Ohm reading and indicate a "check light" warning??
Be good to hear some long term feedback?
Also..I assume that if you install these your P warranty is void?
In which case, just swap them out for servicing

I just installed mine so I can't comment on long term usage, but my recent experience with Orange Tuning was excellent.

I've moved on to an '07 Carrera S, 6MT and I'm interested in a set - who sells them these days? Although the Rotec worked fine, they didn't have an OEM look to them. Would like the Dectane.
