Anyone know an alternate source for the LED clear side markers?

Seems like Suncoast is perpetually out of stock.. I suppose I'd order them (or PREORDER as is perpetually listed) if I knew it would be a reasonable out of time.. If they are so popular you think they would keep a reasonable stock.

I'm about to just order the old non LED clear side markers.. Can't stand my pumpkins.. One of the few things I dislike about my 911's appearance..

 

Eric @ Bumperplugs sells them too and got a first batch delivered already but Porsche seems to be extremely slow to ship them from Europe.

 

Frankly, you can order from any dealer you'd like! Problem with the LEDs is that they are a newer part and the cars they come standard with are very new to our market. In other words, they just aren't in the market yet. Just like the Sport Design mirrors and any parts on the 991 Turbo, GT3, etc.

I've found the pricing from Suncoast to be very good, but they, just like any dealer parts department, are subject to availability. So you can check with third-party or independent sources, but the dealer network should also be able to tell you if any of the parts are in the US....

 

I got mine from Sonnen and they shipped very quickly.

The only two I've seen so far are suncoast and bumperplugs. Looks like Kit's suggestion above works, too.

 

I love the new ones but they light up orange.. Really got used to the bright white led bulbs I purchased separately in the old clear sides. Anyone know if you can order the new ones with white light, not just clear markers? Thanks! (via 6SpeedOnline iOS)

 

I got mine from eBay

Apparently there are clear ones but I can't get a part number. I personally think that blinkers should light up orange.

 

My local dealer had mine in 3 days or so.

From Andraya at Sunset Porsche;

"The Euro LED clear lights are 99163125505 and 99163125605"

She charges $48 for them, but she said they are on Back Order.

I dont mind waiting, since I already have the standard clears with amber led lamps.

 

Agreed being in compliance is always best. I hesitated myself at first, but after over a year with bright white clear light in the clear side markers, and having been observed many times by state and local enforcement, I think it's not a major issue here in Wa state. I really love the clear white light on the anthracite brown

 

+ 1 here in Pennsylvania the troopers are only going to pull you over to provide a certificate of appreciation of high speed. Most if not all private state safety inspection stations are too busy trying to sell you wipers you don't need or some kind of gas treatment and will never notice or appreciate the difference in lights. The only consistent question I ever get from inspectors is "how fast have you driven "

 

What's special about the Porsche LED side light? My 2013 C4S (in UK) has clear plastic and a traditional amber bulb inside. So when not lit you can see a small amber dot inside. All I did was to change the bulbs to these from ebay for £5.00 and now I have LED side lights with an all clear view even when not lit. I guess it doens't look like the whole amber line of the Porsche ones but a lot cheaper!

nicoli / rnl, You are right. Amber USA version cancled. Now waiting on euro clear version.
I did not realize the euro clear version still lights up orange and the USA version is full orange.
No way I want full orange.

 

Yours are full clear?
If so, then there are 3 versions of LED side markers?
Do you know the part number?
