I had to ship my lights 3 times back untill I got a pair which was correctly working. I shipped the red/crystal back at the beginning of may and now they had no more in stock. So I accepted red/smoke for the return because I was waiting till Jan. 2011 for this lights. If you like to see the red/smoke lights I can do some pics on the weekend and post them. Sorry for my english.

Best regards from Germany.

Achim

I do not understand, when you really had errors, why did you send back the lights? Why not just send back the resistors (as far as I understand this is the part that prevents error code), they are seperate with just a plug. And that 3! times and loosing the design you wanted in the first place for no reason and all the shipping costs, WHO Would do this?
I have no errors at all, Install was easy and worked out of the box! Sorry I do not have a Turbo....wish I had.

Hello Zuff,

the first lights had no resistors. The second one had only on the right side, so I had errors on the left. The third had 2 resistors and I had errors on the left. The shipping costs were paid by Dectane so i had no costs. Install is easy and now I do not have any errors. Design wasn´t so important for me. Like the red/smoke.

Based on that review, I'm planning to wait to hear of several successful installations before I commit...thanks Lowdi.

what I mean is that when you open the box from Dectane you find two lights and two separate resistors. The resistors have to be plugged on the light one on each side and than the lights get installed . why did you not just send the resistor back?

Anyway- mine work and look perfect!

Finally! No errors, no condensation, perfect fit.

Pictures don’t do them justice as to how bright they are in person

The 75% brake light I was never too sure about, but when you see it on it looks very good, I always thought it might look like the light was broken but it doesn’t - looks very intentional

If you've followed the trail of posts you'll notice that so far Dectane will not distribute to US addresses.
