just a little clarification based on my experience with an 03 996. if you get the quick flash - then you need the flasher replaced. If you get the PSM then you need to add resistors. I did both and have been working good for at least 2 years now.

I will try this,,,(even though the oem 3rd brake light looks like crap)...

Hard to say. This site shows 997-type lights on a 996 but the caption says 997, so I guess you'd have to check with the manufacturer.

Depends on whether or not we have to pay VAT and what the shipping charges are. The Dectanes site includes the 19% VAT in the e479 ($632) figure. the Pitlane site price doesn't include the VAT, which would bring it to $623. Not sure how that works.

VAT's only applied to Eurpean countries, not in US or Canada.

so the prices are virtually the same, depending on what each charges for shipping.

Where did you purchase your leds from?
