Does anyone know if these start to yellow over time?

200m2, the Bosch units are the most durable and should not yellow.
The eBay ones are very fragile and cheap. The bulb melted the socket on the set I had, rendering it useless.

Yeah but 495$ for clear turn signals...
What I did is bought the cheaps, took off the lenses, put them on my old Boschs, and it's the best alternative you get. Just saw a very nice 964 30yrs anniversary WTL yesterday on the parking lot in Le Mans, it had the cheap reflectors on the sides and it looks really bad to me.
Sadly there is no real alternative, either the very cheap stuff or the very expensive (add /if available/).

Bumping this thread. Looking for a set of clear front turn signals + markers if anyone has a set they are looking to sell.
Prefer Dansk or FVD (as opposed to URO etc). Anyone here have the ones that Rennspeed Motorsport sells & your thoughts on quality?

I found the Uro clear side markers and turn signal assembly on ECS website. Is yellowing still a known problem with these? Are there any mitigating factors? Also, are the bulbs that appear clear (due to silver coating on bulb) that illuminate amber readily available in popular auto shops or have you all found they typically need to be ordered from a more Porsche / Euro specific source?

Mine look like Dan's ^^. The number stamped on the back is the same as the US OEM orange reflectors (964 631 409 00). Are these OEM Euro they just happen to have the same part number...or did the other aftermarket guys repro the part nos?
I need a driver side reflector (mine has a crack) and ideally I wouldn't have to buy a whole set.

I recently bought a set through Pelican. One of the turn signal looks like the FVD above which has the off while plastic showing through the clear lense. The other side was painted silver with no off white plastic. So I ordered another set and kept the first set and guess what the second set had the same mismatched look as the first set. Now you can’t see both sides at the same time but this is going to be one of those things that bug me.
So I am also interested to know who makes the nicest clear turn / reflector sets? Thanks
