Default Has anyone changed their orange lights to LED clear?

I did this yesterday and it looks like the new clear LED is not flush like the original incandescent orange lights... this is in reference to a 981 cayman s. Anyone else notice this? Thanks.

Yes I did this to my 981 Boxster S and they do stick out a bit. I read (P-9 maybe) that they are really made for the 991 (I think) but that they work on the 981 other than sticking out a tad. Does not bother me.

GTS might be a different fit than the S model
