Default Clear side markers HUGE difference

I bought some clear side markers to replace the orange OEM's.

I couldn't believe what a huge difference they made for a cost of $50 from PelicanParts.

Before and after:

Super nice with the gray!

I was wondering if I should get them for my black C4 ... anyone done the replace on a black car that can post pics? I need help deciding?

Thanks

Night and day comparison!

Pumpkin-ectomy (or something like that!)

Explain why you don't like the pumpkins. Is it because it kind of dates the car? I think they look good as they are. In fact I prefer amber to the clear markers. Now a great mod would be to have the clear ones light up steady (not flashing) as the indicator comes on to show into the entrance of a street in the dark. Do any of the later models have this feature? Anyone know?

I am a pumpkin guy - but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm one of the few who suggest leaving the orange side markers alone - IMHO, they look good.

Also, preservation and originality are important to many Porsche owners (like me!).

Some colors might look OK with pumpkins, but dark, especially black, look MUCH better.

First mod I did. I wish they were all that cheap!

Do they still reflect when the lights are off?
