Macca Posted 11May, 2017 Report Share Posted 11May, 2017 Had a seach on Dectane and no results so...I have smoked tails currently however there is moisture in one and a visible hairline crack that must be the cause. The brake light is out but the parker is on, change the bulb a cheap fix but I decided to extend myself a little and ordered some Dectane Led's. I usually dont like to update look's but this has grown on me over the past couple of weeks of googling. Will post pic's when they arrive and install etc - the depo and dectane apprently are complete plug and play and high quaility, the other led's (about ($450) on the market are minus the parkers and reverse bulbs with a lead that will blow a fuse if you connect it (on US forums what to and not to connect). For the Dectane's - the cheapest inclusive of ordering from Dectane themselves are these guys - http://www.pitlane.bg/en/lighting/dectane-led-tail-lights-porsche-911-996-97-06-red-crystal-p45996 which is a good $500- 600 save. (Paypal tells me it was approx $620 total / inclusive delivery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally went to purchase, then with some research decided to look at other "brands /suppliers etc.https://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/41395-has-anyone-added-the-new-led-rear-tail-lights-to-996/https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/873719-996-led-tail-light-causing-multiple-issues-blown-fuse.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted 16May, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 16May, 2017 Ok - these guys cancelled my order http://www.pitlane.bg/en/lighting/dectane-led-tail-lights-porsche-911-996-97-06-red-crystal-p45996 as they said out of stock and wouldnt be until late July. I responded that I would wait but they refunded anyway - too cheap perhaps...I have spend a couple of hundred more and purchased from car wear in Melbourne. Ho hum...
