HA HA HA. If 991 start loosing their orange marker, they will come here and start a 'lost and found' post. So what do we do with these orange markers? Throw in in the trunk when we sell the car incase the next buyer don't like the clear?

I found out the hard way that the Side Markers require canbus LED's.
I could not handle the ugly Orange Bulb and found these Orange LED's look better and work great.

Hopefully it helps you not buy a bunch of wrong LED's (like I did).

Add another wrong LED to the list 
Don't buy the LED I posted above (in Post #22).
They don't set errors initially, but set errors after driving and using turn signals.
The one Nicoli mentioned is available in amber.

8 Led Canbus
9 mm x 29mm overall length
$6.99 ea.
So far, it works well with no errors.
FYI - When inserting it into the socket you can't push it all the way down, so just back it out a bit and then it lights up.
