Dealer should throw it in as part of the delivery of your car.

No one should ever have to pay for clear LED side markers.

When the dealership starts giving you free swag, you know you paid too much for the car.

I would never ask for something free, after negotiating a deal. During the process, sure. But not after. That's tacky.

I got a box of nice chocolates as gift when getting the Cayenne, lets see what they give me when I go pick up the 911 lol.
But I don’t usually ask for stuffs when buying a car, all I care is they are giving me the lowest price

I’m glad these will fit so I can see how it looks on my car, if the fitment is not perfect or the lighting looks cheap, I will just have to get another pair from Suncoast.
BTW, I’m too new to this, and I thought all clear markers are aftermarket, since Porsche sold us the car with orange ones only... So the ones Suncoast sells are OEM? How come we can’t get it when spec our car? Is it European version?
I have an extra set of clear side markers that I plan to sell. If these don’t work, and you want a set, send me a message.

One more question, from Suncoast website, the LED lights up amber color? So even with clear sides, it’s still orange when it’s on? I thought it should be white to match our headlight color?!

Yes, they should light up amber. I think this is US law to light up amber.

My Dealer didn't even throw in keychains. Got the yellow inventory ones!

Yes. DOT regulations. But will look clear when off.

Most Porschephiles get clear markers. They are OEM of course since that is how the car was designed. It's easier to make the case that the orange ones are not really OEM because the side markers are meant to be clear.. It's just a US DOT regulation that Porsche had to comply with. I don't know of any other country that requires orange markers.



Quick Reply: Did I purchase the right side markers?
