Warning about Dectane

Post by Urbandurban »

Bought the LITEC Dectane tail lights for the Scirocco which broke about a year ago. Contacted Dectane who promised replacement lights in about 10-12 weeks (so around august). In august they said it'll take another 8 weeks and after that another 4 weeks. After that they said I could opt for a refund if I sent in the tail lights but the freight cost to send them in is over €60 so I decided to wait. E-mailed them a couple of more times and now after 3 months there is no word from them. I've opted to go for the refund at this point since I dont feel like waiting any longer but they've begun completely ignoring my e-mails. Just thought I'd warn anyone that are having thoughts about buying anything from them.

Sorry if it's in the wrong forum section.

Damn, I feel sorry for you. Do the same I did, get rid of that crap and get real bulbs. I did it on mine, FULL LED, no warnings, only reverse and turn signals are canbus. Looks amazing, powerful and way cooler.
