Dectane vs Depo

Are these the same led tail lights? My search uncovered contradictory statements, so I thought I'd specifically ask if anyone knows for certain.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Let's use a little pictorial for easy understanding and as a reference for the future:

left to right: OEM 997.1, OEM 997.2, Depo/Dectane, ROTtech



left 997.2 OEM, right 997.1 Depo/dectane

Depo makes the lights, Dectane distributes the lights so when you see reference to Dectane and Depo they are the same lights.

Depo Lights

Hey Joel,

I just bought some Depo taillights from euroactive on Ebay. I have an 08 Targa 4. do I need to use the Impedence box that came with the lights upon install?

Thanks,

Larry
