Default Side Corner Lights- Changed to Clear- Need Bulbs

Hey Fellas,

apologies if this has already been asked. I tried searching but couldn’t find anything from the forums. I swapped out the amber to the clear corners but I didn’t realize the light was still amber. Have you guys changed the bulb out yet? I don’t mind the light but I think I’d prefer it to match the rest of the lights. Any idea which color or bulb this would be? Any resources would be helpful. Really appreciate it! Thank you

I believe the amber light is required by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and, if you are in California, the Vehicle Code . . .

By law the front license plate is required, but no one really abides by it..

Same will be with the amber light. There’s no way you’re going to get pulled over because you don't have “the correct light”. That would be funny to see though for sure lol

I would have thought they were LEDs at this point and not bulbs.

I assumed the same Looks like they’re the amber bulbs. I’ll need to find the matching bulbs to the headlights/ fog lights. They’ll stay amber bulbs for now.

You should be able to find a white bulb that glows amber. I purchased an LED set for my Macan when I swapped the amber corners, just do a search for the bulb type.

The clear corners are LEDs.

They are one piece units that do not have replaceable "bulbs".

Hello everybody,

I love you conversation about clear side markers. I am afraid I want to have the orange US-spec side markers on my 992 and I am based in Germany. Who is willing to sell his or her orange side markers?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Best regards from Stuttgart,
Per
