997.1 LED taillights no need for red bulb!

I wish rottec didn't have the monster rear fog housing. Turn signals look too small.
Also, it would be nice if we saw the yellow Porsche shoot some night pics. The refraction of the LEDs at night will yield a better idea as to what looks better. In some pics the rottec LEDs look too far apart and individual.
Here's hoping the dectanes light output looks more homogeneous like gen led tails

I prefer the bigger clear section on ROTtec lights but like the bigger turn signal on these. I agree that that brake light pattern is a little weird.
Bottom line is that it great to have options.

The lights are not cheap products like other aftermarket lights, they are as I said before from Europe and approved for the European market (TuV and E approved), so they have to follow some guidelines.
If someone is interested here are these guidelines
http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29...egs/r48r6e.pdf ( this is the English version).
The here relevant part is under E/ECE/324 E/ECE/TRANS/505 Regulation No. 48 Part 5 and 6.
I think the design of the brake lights looks very cool, especially when used in combination with the fog lights when the break lights on the side of the fog light give automatically the 10 cm space to the fog lights (above mentiond regulation 48 at 6.11.9).
This design honors all European safety regulations, AND looks fantastic (imo).

May be, and what is your point? Most of the electronic parts are produced in Asia ,Apple computers for example, and nearly every electronic part on Your Porsche , Mercedes, Audi, BMW ( BOSCH ) etc.
#23
Thank you - you made my point. Just because they are distributed from Europe doesn't imply a different level of quality.
#25
That is totally true! But when you see these lights, you will see that they are quality. There is no mis alignment of the LED's, no error codes, no water finding his way inside, the fog lights working as they should (from factory). And one thing is true also, cheap produced products will never get TUV approved (these LED tail lights are...) ....
#26
There were some early reports about the Dectane lights and water here (I'm assuming these are by Dectane?)

Ray I set you an email
I finally got around to installing LED tail lights
connection was not an issue BUT the outer upper corner of each light has been chopped off
leaving a narrow gap at the tight angle corner of these lights
I have pics but dont know how to up load them so shoot me a email and I will attach them/Users/Christian/Desktop/photo.JPG/Users/Christian/Desktop/photo.JPG

Sorry, you posted in the wrong threat. This threat is about the LED tail lights from carlightpro.com not the ones Rottec is selling. Ray's Lights are discussed at:

If someone didn't like the brake lights, I am sure it's no big deal to re-wire the lights. Looking at the picture showing the back of the lights there are 3 White clips with a few wires going in to each, surely wouldn't take much to figure out how to get all the red section to light up under braking (even if it meant losing the fog option).
Just an idea.
if any auto electricians reading this would be interested to hear your thoughts
