Why are "pumpkins" bad?
#32
Just personal taste. I changed them on my Forest Green Metallic but I actually like them on white or silver cars. And don't believe it about the 25 additional horses that the clear ones claim. Probably more like 20.

WELL...I certainly want to be a "cool guy" and not look like a "newb". 996_North: you are right about being a forumphile, wished I wasn't so I wouldn't worry so much about: IMS, RMS, Ignition switches, Cracked heads, Oval liners, Cam Chains, Water pumps(renewed), Expansion tanks and Caps(renewed), AOS,...etc... I love my 2005 996 C4S and plan to drive it inspite of the above listed fears!

996_North: Thanks for the advice. I must admit the question I asked was not so innocent! I figured it would bring out many humorous responses! Sorry!
I will stay with the pumpkins. I place value in original equipment on my cars, especially something like these cars. BTW I'm too old to be cool anymore and being a nerd is fine with me, as well!

I've had clear markers and clear bulbs for years with no police problems. I wouldn't worry about orange bulbs. Change them all to clear, no one would ever notice.

If you don't like the look of the amber bulb through the clear lens, you can always buy the chrome lamps that look like chrome unlit and shine amber when illuminated.

Guys, I'm gonna tell you a secret. Some peeps on the other side of the world actually WANT pumpkins. They look to replace their clears with ambers.
Case in point, Japan has quite an assortment of AFTERMARKET amber lenses enthusiasts can buy to modify their cars with.
So anyone wanting to get rid of their pumpkins may fair better putting it on Japanese ebay and you may actually get something for them.
