Yeah...only good thing about eBay is that paying with Paypal, leaves you with recovery options. These days every purchase is a crap shoot.

I finally saw the Rottecs and Dectanes in person. In photos I always liked the Rottecs better, but in person the Dectanes looked to be better fit/finish, looked more "OEM".

Same - I've had my Dectanes installed for almost 2 years (June, 2011) and no problems whatsoever - 2008 turbo - I used the resistor packs that shipped with the lights. Bought from Florida distributor -

Took mine off the car this morning after just about 2 months.
Became completely fed up with the intermittent taillight errors. The other taillamp was out almost 80% of the time...
Usually 5-10 minutes from starting the car the problem would incur.

Real ****ty quality from a usually reliable supplier. Disappointed indeed.

Check out this link. It seems like these lights are made exactly the same as all the others...I guess it's all about how much profit someone wants to make.
Raider did you get your drl from those guys? If so any problems? Errors? Ect. Thanks

No I did not. I purchased from Fish on EBay. Had a problem at first with one of the lights...filled up with water. He replaced and its all good. BUT, I got an error light on the right rear brake light. Grrrrrrr

I guess I'm part of the crowd getting errors now. The light works fine, but getting the error. Bummer. Hope it doesn't turn into a problem.
