I've listed the benefit to buy from us instead from ebay or other shops;
1, we provide 1 year replacement warranty.
2, we provide plug in type resistors in case your 997 need to turn off error code.
3, we will included install manual with the package.
4, we can package DRL with LED tail lights, LED exterior and interior bulbs specialty for 997 as package deals. (DRL module in process, will be ready for market shortly).
5, we had sold close to 200 units in last 3 months and I can say we have the most experience with this unit.
Good points, Ray. I might add a 6th "benefit" that buying them from you is supporting a forum sponsor.

DO NOT buy from RotTec. Their customer service is terrible.
They do not stand behind their product.

One of my rear lights had a few LEDs go after 2 years. The best they would offer me was full retail price plus shipping for a replacement.

I'm taking my business somewhere else.

Do yourself a favor and skip right past Ray and Rottec.

for people outside of the USA, these points are perhaps less important.

Front LED DRL
I purchased my front DRL's directly from www.cargym.com in Hong Kong (speak to Ronno) who is associated with the manufacturer LUMEN automotive http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/...nt_Bumper.html. DRL module available if you want it.
I even got a 10% discount code and their freight cost (to Australia) was half the cost.

Rear LED (DEPO 2009) type... which are the better style IMO.
I purchased these on EBAY USA (and paid the higher freight) as it was still cheaper in the end than Ray (or cargym.com)
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170772001...84.m1423.l2649

Both items came with installation instructions and address contact details for warranty. All work well, no problems. (a very easy DIY)
Yes, I did contact Ray and Dectane for both items and they were both great with their quick response but in the end I was several hundred $$ better off with the online purchases.

How did you get the discount? Looking on cargym's website the price seems to be $580, which is the same as Ray.

Thnx

Cargym is our partner and Ronno is my friend. For Australia order, buying from Hong Kong will cost less in shipping. Since you're in US, we have DRL available in our Canada warehouse, shipping will be faster and less from us. PM or email me for order!
