I easily changed the amber side marker lights to LED clear side marker lights. However, when I turned on the lights, they were amber. I expected when they are turned on, they would be white in color. They were bought online through Braman Motorcars. Part numbers are 991-631-255-05-A and 991-631-255-05-99.

Anyone agree the lights are actually amber when turned on? Or otherwise?

Mine light amber but are clear when off this is correct operation.

VIC_50th

Agree, normal function.

US law dictates that they light up amber.

sandbar

Yup, as designed.

Just put on mine and they are amber when lit up. I think they look good.

Agreed. My understanding is that this was done so that the direction of travel of the car could be discerned due to the amber lights on the side-front and the red lights on the side-rear. (Of course, there could be other clues as to the direction of travel, but I didn't write the regulation.)

Thank you to all who responded. I know now that I did not order the wrong item. I thought that the LED color was white when turned on.

I think white would be confusing at night...might look like a bicycle is coming towards you

If they look like this, you're all good.

What's the concours deduction for this modification? I think it voids your warranty too.

fastdiablo

does it matter if you go for regular bulb or LED bulb? i have xenon, not LED. thanks!

The LED version looks much better. Worth the extra $$. No bulbs to mess with either and will last forever.

When I was in Germany for my ED, I spoke to a guy who told me that over there, they swap the clear markers for the orange ones!

Porsche_nuts

Agree that LED is much cleaner and better looking, no egg yolk look.
