Comparison PICS

Here are some comparison pics of the OEM vs Dectane taillights installed. I would do it again and highly recommend them!

it is really amazing how this little taillight mod renders the rear of the 997.1 closer to the 997.2/991 theme and away from the 996 theme.

These tail lights are bad ***. It's amazing how just replacing them with updated units make the rear look so much better!

I can't wait till I get mine (4-5 weeks).

eBay item

Hi guys,

Saw this item on eBay. Guy says they are made by Depo! Do you think they are the dectane lights? He says ships from USA, in my case it will help because i'm from Canada and don't feel like paying over 100$ in duties if ordered from Germany. Let me know what you guys think, in e meantime I contacted seller to see what he says. I'll keep you posted. Oh and price is good

Thanks

They look like the Dectane product. Don't forget there's a vendor in Vancouver selling similar LED taillights.

They are the smoked version of the ones we got from Orange Tuning. One thing I would ask before purchasing would be if there are resistors included. When looking at the pictures, I see the plugs for the resistor but I don't actually see the resistor pack attached to the light housing.

That's the only concern I would have.

Watch the video linked in post 482. You can see the black box at time mark 0.08 and then again hanging down during installation at time marks 1.30 and 2.50
