Some of our US friend might have a little bit difficulties with this site since it is in french.It took some time to understand it, since there has been over twenty years when i studied french...

hi, I'm in that group, Olli mentioned.
We will put kinda yellow lights in,
so it will not be "white" light, but yellow.
And that's not agaists the law.
At least not here in Finland.

Hei Turbo-Tommy, still in Helsinki??!!! I thought you were on your way to New York!

It's little bit difficult, since you are located in the states and our group is located in southern Finland

You have better contact directly to Jokim in Sweden

My car came with no side markers and I like the look. It gives it a cleaner appearence. My car was in an accident(PO) and the front bumper skin was replaced, so I don't know where he got it. I just wish I didn't have the side marker on the rear fender as well. For some reason side markers were illegal in Europe. If you look at the original Road & Track from '85 on the 'new' 944 turbo, the lenses on the sides are blacked out.

in the most european countries red side marker lights are still illegal.
In front/rear they must be amber
