No it didn't.

Maybe that's my issue.

I purchased ebay lights for my last 4 vehicles and this is the first time I've ever had an isssue. They are going back and I'll try the dectane lights.

LOL
I've seen my Rottec lights when my wife was driving our 997 in front of me. They looked awesome.

I saw some Dectane's and absolutely despised the C. Just my opinion. If you can splice some wires to fix it, than that's awesome.

I bought new Dectane one's this morning from Frank.

The ones I purchased are from a manufactured called SPYDER and they didn't come with any extra resistors.
I believe Dectane's are sold on ebay as well through Orange Tuning by the seller ID blitzableiter82

Take a look:

I got a set of LED rears from my 997.1 that I just took off to put the Dectane style lights in their place.

I got them off of E-Bay and they work good...I just didn't like the square for the "euro" light to light up.

**update**

Sent my lights back and I'm patiently awaiting a refund.

They only paid for 1/2 of the return shipping but at this point I just want my money back.
