Post advise for clear turn signal lenses for 95 993

I am looking at 2 places: CPX-Belgium and Prestige Parts. Are they the same? It seems the one from CPX needs the original light fixture and yellow bulb. Any advise which one i should get from?

It is legal to change, isn't it?

Thx

You can get them at FVD-USA, NR Auto, Performance Products, or By-Design. They all come with the orange bulbs. I used the hyper-white (blue bulb) which is illegal but who cares , I like the look of hyper-white at night compare to the orange bulbs.

Peace!

Technically the white/clear lenses, even with amber bulbs, are illegal in the US. There is nothing actually wrong with them, they just have never been DOT certified.

At least that's the story with the Boxster and 996 clear lenses. One Boxster owner actually got a ticket for it.

I was pulled over recently for no front license plate and the cop didn't notice the clear turn signals. First license plate stop in 3+ years.

When I put the clear turn signals on, I ended up using the clear bulbs. I think they are kinda bright but this state has a ton of drivers that don't bother to signal. I am sure my front signals stick out when they are blinking.

I love them on the black car.
