Default I'm Keeping with the Orange Side Markers

FWIW I know the clear side markers (with amber LED) look better on most of our 991s but I am keeping with the orange ones that came with my car. The reason is that there a lot of newer cars out there with clear side markers and during the day I can hardly tell when they are being used, especially on sunny days. The orange ones to me are more visible during the day and I wish most cars had stuck with orange.

Good for you. If you crack one, you should be able to get 150 cheap sets from the board ;-)

Whatever floats your boat is cool.

They look better on all of the 911s not just most. Your choice of course.

You should add your decision and photo evidence to the "Stuff that's weird about the 991.1" thread!

To each their own. I think they look awesome on EBII BMW's. And being a UVA grad, I love the orange and blue. Added orange Brembo calipers to add even MORE orange. Go Hoos!

I'm sticking with the orange also on our Rhodium Silver C2. I think the orange looks good with silver. Had clear on our last two white Porsches.

Your car. We can all celebrate that we like the 991 for the amazing flat 6 NA motor. Some people don't like the PSE - weird huh? but its's cool since they should have what excites them.

I'm likely keeping the ambers as well on my white car. I also have a fairly strong personal preference against the clear tail lights, but respect everyone will do what they want, with their car

The clear side markers are like a 'Secret Handshake'!

My Guard Red not yet delivered but I'm thinking orange might be better. The last thing I want to draw attention to is markers.
