Here are the tools needed for the easiest DIY in the world:

A Phillips head screwdriver.



Here's the patient, extra Porsches are optional.



First grip, get warmed up be unscrewing the side screw.



And the second one goes the same way - off with it.



This is an optional thing to do, but with my finger size I needed to take the mid part out to grab the lens better.



Looks a bit undressed, doesn't it.



And now my favourite quote from the Haynes manuals: "Reverse the procedure."

Looks pretty neat, doesn't it?



As you can see on this pic I managed to spill some of the blinker fluid out on the drivers side..

Looks like right-hand-drive blinker fluid... Probably why it wanted to get out. Get the right replacement!

Joe....next step is to get rid of those ridiculous looking 5mph bumperettes that the USDOT required. How Porsche convinced the DOT to accept these as "applicable" is beyond me. Lose them and screw on the clear lens spacer that Porsche originally inteneded to have in it's place.

Yeah, Keith, where do we get the <clear> bumperettes? That makes all the difference. I was beginning to think it was just a GTS thing...

Call 928 Int'l...they come from Germany.

Be informed though, you will have to make some modifications for these to actually fit. Others have their methods of installation, but I worked my way through and discovered an easier route than taking off the front clip or just taking a dremel saw to the metal part of the 5mph bumper.

Let me know if you need instructions to do this.
