I ended up getting a full refund.
Hmmmm, ok. weird. Their webpage says they have the RED/SMOKE in stock. Even today the webpage says in stock.


So yesterday I searched eBay and found these.....
VW Touareg Full LED Taillights 02 10 Dectane Lightbar RED Smoke | eBay

Last night I emailed the vendor and asked if they were in fact RED/SMOKE and if they were in stock.
Here is the reply I received this morning.
Dear customer,
the item from stock it is red/smoke.
The shipping cost to Canada it is 130 pounds.
Thank you!

Notice anything familiar?
It's the same people!!!!
The only difference the price of the shipping is up by $240cdn!!!

So which is it?
In stock at a $240 higher price or not in stock at a lower $240 price????

Argggg, I hate getting lied to by a vendor.



ANYWAYS...
Does anyone other than these shady Romanians have a set for sale?

I can't seem to find any other vendors for this product.
I'd prefer to not buy from a vendor who has already lied to me.

I know I can buy these other ones, but I don't like them as much....I may end up with them though.

Ya, they are nice looking. At least to me.
I know, I know. Different strokes for different folks.

Have you had any luck at all in finding a vendor? Any other vendor???

Why not just order directly from Dectane? I have done that twice with no issues. :)

I'd Love too.
But I can't seem to find the online-store.

All I can find are the following stores;
Faruri, lumini si stopuri de la Dectane
Headlights, Taillights and auto accesories from Dectane
Auto Tuning Accessories -
And all of those go back to the shady Romanians.
dectane-tuning.com is where I first tried to buy them.

Any chance you could post up the URL from the place you bought from please?


UPDATE: Ok, I think I found it. www.dectane.de. And my answer is because they don't have any in stock. IIRC I tried a few places.

Ok perfect!
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
I appreciate that.

I can see now where I was getting confused.
For some reason I thought dectane.de and dectane-tuning were the same place. So I originally placed my order with dectane-tuning. And I ended up with the shady Romanians.

Even though they show no stock, I placed my order with dectane.de anyways. I don't mind waiting for a bit to get it.

Thanks again for clearing that up for me.

Quick update;

I ordered a set last fall.
They arrived over the winter, but the car was hibernating by then.

Took the car out a couple of days ago.
I installed the lights this afternoon.

Beautiful!

No issues , install was a breeze.
I'm a happy camper.

Thanks goes to 2010tdi for his setting me on the right path.

They used to have them on eBay for $300 usd then $100 shipping but now they're only available in their site and total now is like $450. Just too expensive. Ugh

I'm interested to see red smoke installed before spending that much if I'm not certain I would like it. If you get time it would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a couple pics of the install from the other day and one from tonight.
At first I thought they sent me the wrong ones because they looked very dark side by side the oems, but now I'm completely happy with them.
I really like how they light up at night.

I have these on my 08 t2, my car is the Galapagos grey color. When I ordered from Dectane I wanted the smoked lenses but I wanted the light bars that look grey when they are not lit, apparently they stopped making that kind in 2012. So I got the smoked lenses and the light bars that are red when not lit up, I like them especially when lit. I did have an issue when I went to get my inspection here in Houston at a local Firestone shop, they said they could not inspect the car with smoked lenses, I looked further at the law and that is not true at all, there is a regulation as to being able to see the brake lights from a mile away or some nonsense. So I ended up taking to a different small auto shop and they inspected and passed no issues at all.

So do you have the same as OP.? I'm curious if you can provide a picture of them with that color paint. Are you saying the don't produce the non smoked anymore or they just stopped producing the lightly smoke and only make the dark ones?
