Default Clear side markers for 997.1

Looking to get rid of the orange and put the clear on. I see tons of offerings on eBay. Some have a bit of orange in them (bulb?) others just look like lens covers. Can someone post an eBay link to what I need as a replacement? I also see prices all over from $15 each to $75 for a pair. Thanks

And you can find proper bulbs that eliminate the "egg yolk" effect.

Got mine from Suncoast. OEM genuine Porsche parts. They come with amber bulbs. You could swap them with the clear bulbs out of your original amber lenses, but IIRC most states require them to either reflect OR glow amber. I left the amber bulbs because I really don't want to cause an excuse for getting pulled over.

Also IIRC you can have them function as either night markers or turn sigs, but not both. Not sure how not having them lit up at night as markers does or doesn't comply with state laws.

Good link. Eliminates the egg yolk look.

You can use those, but then you see the amber bulb behind the clear lens. Mike Cap's solution is better/best.

No. They are silver and flash amber. You don't get the egg yolk effect with the clear side markers when unlit.
