ORANGE TUNING is the greatest.

FRANK is a stand up guy.

Ordered Aug. 1 and arrived today Aug. 8. Only 5 business days.

Well packed (double packed in fact) and no custom duties.

Didn't really care for the LED tail lights until these DECTANE version appeared. They look so much like the 997.2 tail lights.makes my 997.1 into a 997.1.5

Cant wait till DECTANE makes some matching driving lights for the fronts to complete the look

Here are a few pix of how they arrived... double boxed.... and a few pix of the lights.

DHL shows my lights at US customs since last Thursday. How long did it take those here to get them once they cleared US Customs?

+1 on hoping Dectane releases matching front set!

BTW what is that in the photo, on the floor under your tail pipe?

Just send them an email inquiry, tell them what you want and your ship-to location. Ask them to send you a paypal invoice and you're good to go.

Just installed my Dectanes today.

Plug-and-play. No problem.

My previous experience with the Rotecs was not so good. Fortunately I live in Vancouver and had the Rotec guy do the install. He's a great guy but he couldn't get any of three kits to work on one side of my car. Must have been a bad batch or something.

The Dectane kit also involves much less juggling of harnesses and connectors than the Rotec assembly.

And bringing price into the equation - the Dectanes win hands-down unless you happen to prefer the Rotec look.

The one doubt left in my mind is whether the Dectanes are as bright and as visible from the same angles as the factory LEDs. I'll be interested to have an opportunity to do a side-by-side comparison.

Has anyone else done a side-by-side with a 997.2?

Be careful of the front ones in that green car picture. A friend has them on his Ruf Cayman and the things were falling out of the opening within days of installation.

I agree. I haven't seen anything for the fronts that I'd rather have than the stock ones. Waiting....

Not side by side, but I've seen them many times, there is not much difference in the brightness of OEM and Dectance, not that my eyes can see anyways.
