Default Clear side markers in the US

I wanted to put clear side markers on the car, but all the ones I've seen have yellow bulbs. Are there any clear side markers you can buy that will have clear bulbs?

The LED side markers. There are two clear versions. The cheap bulb version and more expensive LED version.

See the Suncoast Porsche Parts website.

Look at the 2nd picture under alternate views and also at 0:31 in the video. It looks like the bulb is yellow. Where is the white bulb?

Are the OEM amber bulbs incandescent ? If so, then will the LED clear lens need an inline resistor ? TIA T

On the 2014s they are amber LED. Clear LEDs with amber are plug & play with all years of 991.

It obviously shines Amber for legal reasons.

Are you looking for it to light up clear white??

The lens is clear and looks a lot better than the Orange ones.

Tony -- very smart guy. I had mine removed and painted. The rear bumper needs to come off. You could also get some car vinyl wrap material and put it over the reflectors. The easier option. I hate the reflectors!

I had my body shop paint them.

BumperPlugs paints them just about any Porsche color you need. Except clear.

With the painted BumperPlugs option, the bumper does not get pulled.

Graphite Gray. Just don't want it to look ricer, but the film covers will be down low. Was thinking about the clear tail lights to complete the look, but don't like the way the red reflectors look with them. Or as Marisa Tomei says "Oh yeah, you blend" T
