Good info!
The number does indeed return a result on the USPS tracking page. However, no new info for me. It just states that it's been through 2 different sorting facilities in Germany. Now I've got two places to check for status. Also, I clicked a box and provided my email addy on the DHL page to get status updates. Now, I'm triple covered!

Edit - just saw that option on the USPS page, too. Now I'm quadruple covered!

Hey Guys, tonight I was turning on my fog lamps and pulled to hard on the **** which engages the Rear Fog light... I then got an error message "check rear fog light" . Now the red exclamation point is on...
I have a 2006 C4S and I did not use the additional resistors supplied with the dectanes. Any one know if that is what is causing the error. I have had them on for a few weeks now with no errors.. kind of bummed. I will put the resistors in and see if it helps... let me know if any one else experienced this with only the fog lamp. Currently the rear fog light function is not working

Have you had issues with this vendor or is this just a general observation - if so, pretty unfair.

and YES.. I know.. I edited my pictures for the license plate but I posted the video with my plate number showing...

Just a heads up for those who have a 2005-2006. I installed the lights on my 06 C4S and had no warning light errors for 3 weeks. I admit at the time I did not check my fog lights since I never use them. So the other night I accidently turned on the rear fog lights and immediately got an error "check rear fog lamp"

Long story short. I had to install the old lights and turn on the ignition and test the fog light in order for the warning light to turn off. Then turned off the car, re-installed the dectane, this time using the resistors and double side taping the resistor box to the back wall of the tail light housing and then slowly pushing in the dectane lights... All seems to be working fine again.

So just in case you got no warning lights at first, you may want to double check that rear fog light switch.

Good reason to keep the old lights - I've had my LEDs on for about one month - no problems, have not turned on the fog lights.

You don't want to sell them anyways, you practically have to give it away. Just keep them until you get rid of the car then sell the LED's, you will get much more for them than the OEM ones.
