Based on all the pics and video these seem to be the exact same as ones sold by rotec but just cheaper?
Can anyone confirm?

Agreed and the best part is they look just like the 997.2 OEM lighting pattern

No, if you look at the RoTec ones, it's different than OEM. This one, IMO is more OEM in pattern.

Here is a pic from RoTec's thread comparing theirs to OEM:

This product looks very close to OEM, much better than ROTTEC IMO.

The best part: NO ERROR CODES! Plug&play; 10 minutes to install.

I hope these guys come out with front LED's. They're pretty good at emulating OEM.

Marco, an absolute delight to meet you and your buddy also. Your TT is amazing and sounds spectacular. Such a coincidence we ran in to each other at HBL. My buddy who I rode with said he was going to HBL and if I wanted to join I could and said why not, so the fact that we ran in to each other at that time was so cool.

Yes, I got that code too, just once, when I stalled the car . Went away when I recycled the key. None since then.

The clear side markers were a snap to install and I think these LED taillights will even be easier. I'm anxiously awaiting my set.

One final note on the install, the owner's manual instructs the user to remove only the center screw on the taillights to remove the assembly and replace bulbs.

I'm hoping Dectane decides it is worthwhile for them to make a front LED replacement to complete the look.
