Maybe give them another buzz and talk to the parts guys downstairs at Mark they will order them if not already in stock. They installed them for free for me and Mig9 when we picked up our GT4's in 2020.

Interesting. I shall certainly ask. Thanks for that.

I put Lamin-x tinted film over mine. I thought I would try this $20 solution first before switching to clears. It looks just fine with the yellow bits on the rest of the car. However, if I didn't have yellow bits, I am not sure it would be a cosmetic match.

Yes Mark Motors should be able to get them for you easily. When I spec'd my Spyder I mentioned to my SA that I wanted the clear lights and he ordered them for me. I didn't get them free like some have and I don't remember how much I paid but it was in the 100's CDN not 200's.

I was stoked when I picked up my car that the SA took it upon himself to have the PDI tech replace the amber markers with clear on his (or the dealer's) dime. He said he just couldn't sell the car with the amber. lol

Amber side lights look perfect on Graphite Blue cars! Brings out the gold color in the wheel centers!

Clear works on anything.

When lit the clear are still amber, so legal.

Get the OEM ones online for $130.

You’re welcome




Orange will obviously work better on a PTS Orange car. Will also go better than clear on a red car, IMO. Not certainly on the strict legality, as they do not reflect orange, but I have also never seen anyone have an issue. Had them on my previous white 981 Cayman GTS.

Just put some Lamin-x film on them, which is what I did, and it comes in several shades. I did the darkest on my rears and the Gunsmoke on the fronts.

I preferred amber with my black car and clear with my silver...very color and person dependent, I feel.

My dealer changed the amber lights out for clear for free...they said they had to give me the originals, too, as it is illegal...but they didn't

Hi Steve,
My SA installed them on my 911-50 at delivery here in Victoria - looks way better than the orange side markers... Your dealer may have been approached by OPP and asked to cease and desist (just a thought) or perhaps they are tired of ordering them in?
Also, I thought they were standard fit on 911 Turbo a few yr ago?? - but I may be mistaken on that.
Cheers,
Martin
