These are the ones that use the existing reverse lights, need resistors and have confusing leads that blow the fuses.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Had a seach on Dectane and no results so...
I have smoked tails currently however there is moisture in one and a visible hairline crack that must be the cause. The brake light is out but the parker is on, change the bulb a cheap fix but I decided to extend myself a little and ordered some Dectane Led's. I usually dont like to update look's but this has grown on me over the past couple of weeks of googling.
Will post pic's when they arrive and install etc - the depo and dectane apprently are complete plug and play and high quaility, the other led's (about ($450) on the market are minus the parkers and reverse bulbs with a lead that will blow a fuse if you connect it (on US forums what to and not to connect). For the Dectane's - the cheapest inclusive of ordering from Dectane themselves are these guys -

which is a good $500- 600 save. (Paypal tells me it was approx $620 total / inclusive delivery)
i also want to upgrade my tail lights to LED ones... but i dont like the 997 look.. i went on there site and they dont have normal with led or slightly smoked...
i found these on ebay:

not sure of the quality tbh.
These are the ones that use the existing reverse lights, need resistors and have confusing leads that blow the fuses.
I originally went to purchase, then with some research decided to look at other "brands /suppliers etc.

Ok - these guys cancelled my order

as they said out of stock and wouldnt be until late July. I responded that I would wait but they refunded anyway - too cheap perhaps...I have spend a couple of hundred more and purchased from car wear in Melbourne. Ho hum...
