Clear Side Marker - Chrome Bulb Flashes Amber
My first - hopefully helpful - post to the 997 board.
I bought clear side marker lights for my newly acquired 2011 997.2 C4S but of course they come with the orange bulbs installed that look so-so through the lens.
I searched for the chrome bulbs like in my 993 turn signal that flash amber but are invisible through the lens.
Finally found them here so I thought I'd post this so it shows up in the archives. ECS Tuning - nice guys and very helpful.

get all that stuff on ebay
the chrome would be fine but its going to be a yellow burning light. That defeats the purpose.
you need the leds that burn a xenon blue color to match the headlights. I use 6000k led
You can also NOW buy the chrome turn signal bulbs (2 per side) or use leds which gets rid of the worst yellow of all. But you have to take the bumper off to replace them.

Agreed. Also, while I am all for LEDs and have replaced most all of the bulbs in my car with them, IMO, replacing the flasher bulbs with LEDs that flash blue instead of amber looks like a mid 2000's riced out Civic. Not only is it illegal, it cheapens the car.
