That really sucks. I was planning on picking up a set but now I'm having second thoughts. Nothing looks worse than aftermarket parts that are half broken.

I would hold off on any purchases if I were you. If he can't stand behind his products they are not worth buying.

I will keep everyone up to date on my progress. **e-mail #3 sent today**

Thanks for posting. I've cooled my enthusiasm for these as I wait to see if there is a pattern of failures or if failures are replaced without a hassle.

There was a thread on Rennlist regarding this. It appears that Dectane will forego their R&D plan for the front LED DRL, as another company is already underway for this. I presumed that it was the company for Rottec's lights.

Frank actually reads 6speedonline and especially this thread, he knows the financial loss is not worth it. Hold on, he's not always quick but he'll get to you.

I've been talking to frank as well waiting for his next shipment before placing my order. Now I'm having some second thoughts. Anyone else having issues with LEDs going out or is this an isolated event? Making me wonder if I should just get the all red oem tails.

I've had mine installed for over 3 months. Purchased from Frank and I have absolutely no issues. They are by far one of my favorite upgrades that I have made to my C4S. Completely modernizes the entire look of the car. The LEDs are incredibly bright and they look amazing.

Let's give Frank a chance to respond. I'm awaiting his email about the latest shipment as well.

As far as the all red tail lights, I'm not a big fan of the look, but YMMV.

Just sent Frank email and placed an order for the set today. He contacted me right away and it was only sent last night. Man, I hope he's not trying to avoid you. He responded to my email very promptly. I agree, half of the sale is owning up to your product. Fingers cross for you and myself now.

One reported failure doesn't make a pattern. I've had mine installed since May and no problems.

Hence my wait and see approach. Plus, I'm curious to see how problems are handled when they are encountered.
