I think you should try getting your dealer to throw it in.

I have already asked. They said I need to buy and change it by myself.

Maybe I should let them see this post and tell them what the other dealers do for their clients.

My dealer did it as well before I picked up the car.

I brought my car in after I purchased my car and the service guys changed them in about 5 minutes, no charge.

These clear LED side markers are a "must-have" for new 991 and 981 models. It makes such a huge difference on the exterior and has been one of our most popular items since they were released last year.

We have over 100 sets in stock currently and they really are incredibly easy to install. Let us know if you have any questions and congrats on the new car!

you can order the part from the dealership, but it's about 150 dollars for two, but expensive, and it's very easy to install

platinum star - You should reconsider what Dealership you do business with.

Just pinged my dealer, Porsche of the Main Line, and they didn't hesitate to agree to swap them out before delivery at no cost to me.

The video does indeed make it look very easy. I wouldn't let that guy get that close to my paint with a screwdriver in his hand though!

agreed. That video has taken a lot of crap for the screwdriver handling...

My side markers did not want to release using the technique in the video. I ended up removing the headlight assembly (very easy to do) so I could access the side marker retaining clip from behind. An alternative method, FWIW....
