Default Clear front LED Side markers for 2022 Macan

Which clear front side markers have you guys tried for the Macan? I see several options, all are "No Name" brands. Amazon, Ebay, Flat6, etc.

Some have a bulb and some have LED strips. The LED ones look cool but seem to have a wonky plug/connector setup that is not sealed from moisture.

What is the group's favorite one?

Thanks!

I recently installed the Flat 6 ones, they are more expensive than the generic ones on Amazon or eBay but I trust them.

I have used the Flat 6 for my 2019 and 2022. Swapped them out when I returned the 2019. Smoke with orange LED. No problems.

The Flat6 site shows it comes with an incandescent bulb? Not LED?

Correct, LEDs sometimes produce error codes.

Looks great!! Did you have to use inline resistors in addition to the light plug?

I had the auto shop that did my radar detector install them for $100. So I can’t answer that. No

I'm going to order for Flat 6 Motorsports, but since my car is white should I keep the white bulb in there or switch to the ugly orange bulb that comes with the kit?

I have the original LED ones with tinted lenses but I've installed clear lenses in other cars and changed the bulbs over to orange. The orange bulb is barely visible behind the clear lens in the daytime when it's not on. But leaving the clear bulb in could draw unwanted law enforcement attention at night with an out of place white light shining. Just put the orange bulb in and if it bothers you, swap it back to the clear one. It's not a permanent modification and can be done in about 5 minutes.

I ended up buying LED ones off Ebay. They work great and no errors.

These are the ones I put on my 2021 GTS.

I did have some water get in the left one, but I don't know if the twist connector got dislodged when I installed it. I pulled it back out, let it dry out, then wrapped the connector with some Teflon tape and reinstalled it. Time will tell if that is successful. The right light has been fine. No errors without the resistors installed.
