Now those lights look money! Judging from the plate you must be in europe, so you got those from Dectane directly?

Agreed. They are the closest to 997.2 I have seen yet. Look bright as hell too. I think they are European spec approved of some kind, so as close as you can get to an OEM I guess.

They go locally for an arm and a leg: $849 - $999. price in Europe is much less. Now its just a matter of finding a right contact.

Good things come to those who wait.

now if they would only make the front LED turn signals as well

from what i understand, it's expensive and time-consuming..

this was from Ric @ suncoast..

Let me know, happy to help.

If OEM is too expensive, and I go aftermarket, I'd still rather go for that .2 GT3 looks, vs the other options. FVD has a kit with the bumper and wiring harness for $2200 and then the lights would be $800 and folks on the forum here say I might be able to find a local shop to re-route my exhaust to the center for $500. Plus install and paint.

Yeah - it sounds pretty expensive. One other option I'm considering is to buy lights like in this thread and then I could always re-sell them later if I go with the GT3 look.

From the Dectane site, I could order the lights to be shipped directly to my home for 378.15 Euro plus 79 Euro shipping cost (DHL), which works out to about $653. That seems reasonable, if they are truly plug and play, and there are no issues.
They look really good...

As far as I understand Dectane does not deliver to the US. They have a distributor there www.carlightpro.com.

Mine are just perfect, easy to install, no issues at all.
