If Dectane can make the front LED driving light housing like the 997.2, I will definitely get a pair to match my rear!!!!

Patiently waiting.......

How did I miss this thread from June? I'm lurking every day. Love the LED's on everyone's cars. Looks like one of the best mods so far.

I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered a set last thursday and figured I'd give the car a nice detail today in anticipation. Just to be tidy (****)... Removed the tails and cleaned out the cavities.
Mine is an 06 so i guess it's gonna be crap-shoot on whether i'll need to install the resistor pack.
i'll be all over front LED's if they become available.

How will you know if you need the resistor pack? Any chance of burning out the LEDs if you guess wrong?

they should arrive this coming week. i'll post a few pics then.

As for the resistor packs on my 06, i plan to connect the cable to both lights (but not install them), then run threw the lights to see if i get an errors on normal lighting and then operate the fog light. if i don't, then obviously i won't need them and i'll use one of the previous suggestions and tape up the resistor wire to keep water out.

If I get an error, the resistor packs go in and i'll velcro or double-sided tape them to the back wall like someone suggested for a nice clean install.

There are pics all over this thread (just not this page) - look at the GT3 on page 5 and the C4S on page 4. Plus there are 25+ pages over on 6speed. It's a great looking mod.

Couple of ordered placed over at 6speed but they have not received theirs yet. So you will have to wait.

Some older 2005 needs them, you will get an error on the dash. I have not heard about LED's burning out.

Here's an update on front LEDs from RoTtec.

Not 100% sure about them... I wish we got a good pic on a car.

I like the fronts from RotTec--not the typical series of individual LEDs. Kinda neat.

I never needed any additional resistance packs for my RotTec rears. It's something they sorted out before shipment. Never had a problem with them in that respect.
