I like the Targa 4S lights. Those look like the most OEM 997.2 and it modernizes the car a bit.

I don't care for smoked or other types of lenses. I actually don't like the "clear" OEM lenses that are a 997.2 option.

I installed Dectanes and after a few months I decided that I preferred the stock look and switched back. If you are going to install LEDs, I think the Dectane/DEPO style looks best.

I almost pulled the trigger on Dectanes some time ago but didn't.

I read more and more about people with issues and error messages so I think the early ones simply needed more development. They still look to "dotty" IMO.

For example: first image is what I Don't like. Second image is better with the solid LED round the outside but still the "dots"inside. So I wait some more until I find what I want.

Neither of those examples are Dectane/Depo. Probably another aftermarket brand like "Spyder" or something. But i see what you mean. The ones on the left look really bad.

Vorsteiner, they discontinued their products for the 997 models, they only make parts for 991 now.
