Thumbs up Well it looks like the DRL LED Turnsignal business just got.......

bigger. Found this eBay ad today, http://www.ebay.com/itm/PORSCHE-997-911-C2-C2S-C4-C4S-FACELIFT-PDK-STYLE-DRL-LED-FRONT-BUMPER-LAMP-LIGHT-/160693570913?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &vxp=mtr&hash=item256a154d61, I guess the flood gates just opened! I contacted the seller and he is willing to give 10% Discount and Expedited Shipping 3-6 Business Days to US for $558.00 and there is no waiting! Sweet! Great find!

I don't think they are available in USA yet through a USA supplier/reseller. Maybe your guys in NY got them through Ray/Rottech which is in Canada? From my understanding they are made in China by a very reliable and high quality company, then sold to Rottech (Canada) and CarGym (Hong Kong), i'm sure more will sell them as they are released.

When I saw them at Alibaba.com, I knew this was coming... There's not such a thing as an "exclusive" from a china manufacturing company...

So these DRL lights are made in china? They still seem a bit pricey at $500+

Competition is good. We have close relationship with manufacture thought development process. Thats why we have 1st batch and 100 pair are already on the way to customers. we have another 100 pairs coming by Feb and we accepting pre-order. Cargym is HK is our dealer and we work together.

btw, the lights are not made in China

DRLs from Orange-tuning

I just ordered Rear LEDs from OT and Frank offered the following plug-n-play front DRLs at 366 Euros.

I am going to order them as soon as I receive the first order.

The left photo shows that the center bar is a DRL, whereas I thought it would be the parking light (not bright enough for DRL). When using the dectane DRL module, the bottom LED's would be the DRL, then revert to fog lights when headlights are turned on. The center bar would be the parking light.

That's a great price, $490.00 USD with the exchange rate today. Good Job!

They are not made in China? Where are they made Ray? I guess you missed the Alibaba.com website, if you look it up the product is shown with the name of the manufacture and country of origin.

I was trying to make a point that the lights were made in China and that they were listed on the website that was mentioned above. I really don't care if they come from Bum F--- Newark NJ! Lmao!!! The lights are not exclusive to Rottech in Canada.

Thumbs down

Well i hope i have better luck with Rottec as i order the drl from Rottec , i will never buy anything from OT i bought their led brake lights after install they fog up in the middle emailed Frank many times no response was not looking for a refund just a solution , to me costumer service is very important and if you have a problem they should be able to work something out this happen like 4 mths ago sometimes price is not everything but after sales service

my friend had a similar experience (condensation and fitment issues)
I felt bad because I referred him to OT.

I guess you can never tell, my winter car is Toyota Tundra, I just received LED taillights for it, and they are a complete garbage. I can't even get a response from the company. I just tossed them. Luckly they were only $180, as opposed to Porsche's $800.

No company is perfect, places like this forum are a good starting point to make your choice (a lot of opinions)
