Looks great! Especially on a black car. If there were other color option, I’d be in.

The only color is black-ish, called "smoke", but it looks okay on my Lapis Blue 996 so I think the lights would blend with any dark color.

I just grabbed a set of clears off Amazon. They came up at 39.99 (Prime Day price) also a 6% coupon available on the listing.

Received my side lights in clear yesterday. They look great, however, I've got no blink. All the turn signals work except these side lights. Any thoughts?

The OE side markers do not blink. You have to change the wiring. Do a search for side marker blink.

"How did you get the blink effect to function?"
To get the side marker lights to blink with the turn signals, I made a minor wiring change months ago but now I can't find the source for the DIY project. I checked the 101 Projects book, searched this forum, and the Pelican DIY projects list, but so far I can't find the project instructions. I did not invent this mod myself because I do not understand how or why electricity works or if it's just a passing fad.

Hopefully somebody will post a link to the instructions to make the side marker lights blink.

Just picked up a set of the smoked lenses for my midnight blue metallic c2 and very pleased with the updated look.

Pretty happy with how they look in conjunction with the Litronics
