The LEDs on the non-smoked are very, very bright so I'd imagine the smoked version would be OK. I'll also be interested in actual results.

ORANGE TUNING is the greatest.

FRANK is a stand up guy.

Ordered Aug. 1 and arrived today Aug. 8. Only 5 business days.

Well packed (double packed in fact) and no custom duties.

Didn't really care for the LED tail lights until these DECTANE version appeared. They look so much like the 997.2 tail lights.makes my 997.1 into a 997.1.5

Cant wait till DECTANE makes some matching driving lights for the fronts to complete the look

Here are a few pix of how they arrived... double boxed.... and a few pix of the lights.

Hi guys, it showed error with my brake light. I put the additional resistor and the warning disappeared. But I can’t install the lights with both (old and additional) resistors, I have no room. Should I change the old resistor by additional one? Or i should try to place both resistors...

The additional resistor box will fit - at least it does in mine.

Check back in 4 years and we'll report on quality/reliability.

On another note, I need to upload some pics, although they just look like everyone else's = awesome.
