Thanks for the heads up on the Pedals! Ordered mine today!

Thanks,,,,,,, Spur
Hi...

I got the tips a while back...like two years ago on eBay....They were about $400. I found it funny that the new 991turbo has these ...just inverted...

The rear LED,s are Dectane/Depo. I got them from SuperTweaks in UK but would NOT recommend them. Took forever and added a huge shipping charge afterthe fact. I am sure others here can recommend a better spot? I think Delray customs is selling these now. Do not get the RotTec.....

I would personally go through FVD for the Dectanes. Plug and play with two resisters for each light along with the upgraded circuit board. That's where I just bought mine. Excellent customer service through Rhonda

I have almost identical 'tear drop' tips to what DC has except in black chrome. I just bought mine from Nello at Maxspeed motorsports.

Maybe I missed it but what brands are those exhaustpipes?
Are slip-overs or complete change of the exhaust system?
Love them, both look very good on the TT.

I figured I'd get some crap from you. Better watch it or I may get e rear diffuser too.. That would really stir things up..

Hi there....Not sure the exact vendor, but ordered from Japan a couple years ago from eBay. Price not bad, and quality has been very good so far...Just thought I would give them a try and liked them Later the 991 Turbo came out and looks like the same design inverted

Here is a link to some that seem to be the same or similar:

Good luck...

That is great! The lights in the photos aren't Dectane/Depo however. They appear to be the ROTtec. Guess that is why I see the two resistors in series there.

Good luck...they look good on your car.

I still have contact for the Dectane's if anyone wants them.

$650 shipped.. This is a super easy install. No need to have it done by an installer..One screw, two connector's and double side tape for the resistor..

Takes about 30 minutes.. Might take longer when you see how much dirt is in there and you want to clean it out..

Nice! I really like that red R, any way you could tell me where you got it? Trying to see a classy way to put that on there with the AMS Alpha 9 badge.



On the original topic, looking to get LED lights for my 997.1 Turbo. Does anyone know the difference between the Dectanes and the Del Ray Customs? I know aftermarket lights generally have issues with sufficient brightness, I want the brighter ones.
