I feel bad for Lucky... everytime we hang out I am completely trashed and all I do is talk about cars. I hate Vegas... lol
Lucky: We should get our girls together and just do a movie night or something (not at my house!)...

Contacted Frank and I'm in for the 7/1 shipment also. DirtyVegas- thanks again!
Not sure if this has been posted, but here is a really nice YouTube video direct from Dectane (in German, but its very much a show and tell anyway so you don't need to know what he's saying) on installation and before after views:

That video is very well done and quite helpful (even if you don't speak German). When installing it would be a good opportunity to clean up the metal behind the lenses and throw on a coat of wax.

Lol, Its alright bro, I always enjoy myself. We definitely need to all get together once I find a girl. I have regulars but no one that I would want to bring out if you know what I mean.

LOL...... No please explain!!

He skipped the step about swapping the brackets...but then you wouldn't be able to install without.

Got mine today!!!!
Here it is, all boxed up
Nicely wrapped
All wrapped up
Unwrapped and ready to install
Good-bye old OEM taillights
Hello new LED tails on the left
Both installed
Final product
Have to say it was a pretty quick and easy installation. I am impressed with the product, looks very OEM. Looks so much better than stock.

What are you waiting for, it actually looks nicer when the LED lights up, when you step on it or maybe I'll use the hazard button more often.

Correct me if I am wrong. I don't think you need to swap the brackets. You unscrew the center screw which connects the bracket to the lamp leaving the bracket in place. It's hard to believe that one screw holds the entire lamp in place, but after everything I have seen and read its only one screw. The clear side markers were a snap to install and I think these LED taillights will even be easier. I'm anxiously awaiting my set.

Look how similar it looks to my OEM 997.2 tails. The only difference is the light pattern when lit up, whereas these light up the entire loop and the OEM is just a C-shape like an Aston Martin.

If you look closely at the LEDs, the SMD LEDs used in the OEM lights are different than the LEDs used in the Dectane lights, which give the OEM lights a more connected look, rather than separate dots that light up in line.
