Default Clear side marker light question

Do the clear side marker lights that we can buy from Suncoast come with a yellow led light bulb only or can we get white bulb? Thanks in advance!

Just opt for the LEDs. They contain an orange led and white led ring

Default LED Clear Sidemarkers


Love these! Wouldn't own a modern Porsche sportscar without them added. I swapped mine from my 2015 991.1 C2S trade.

No. At the very least they are required to illuminate amber, not white. Buy the clear amber LEDs.

I thought I liked the US-spec amber ones until I replaced with the clear LED and realized how huge of an improvement it is.

Just to be clear (pardon the pun!) mine are the amber OEM LEDs with clear lense, as supplied in a Porsche parts box with Porsche part number. I think they are sold in much of the world this way. Pretty easy to change if you watch it on Youtube first.

Any LED that illuminates in any color other than Amber is illegal in US. The appearance will be clear but, when illuminated they must be Amber or against DOT.
Not saying you will get a ticket or in trouble, just stating what the laws in the US are.

I went with clear lens, AMBER LED. You would never know it was amber unless it was illuminated.

I'm sure they are correct, but the SKU number is specific to Suncoast. They should come in a box with Porsche #99163115502.

The easiest test to see if you have the right bulbs is with the non-LED clears, you can see the orange bulb through the clear lens, and obviously can't through the LEDs. The LEDs also sit flush to the body when installed.

And it was a surprise to me that these are the same for 991.1 and 991.2.
