I got em on eBay, fit is good. I was hesitant at first because my previous experience with non oem markers on my c-class fell out and ended up on the freeway. These fit pretty snug I don't think they are going to fall out.

They look nice, but I am always nervous about installing non-OEM parts. Let me know if they hold up after a few high speed runs.

I always liked the look of the 997 Clear markers which are a true clear sometimes called crystal depending on who you ask. OEM 996 clear are actually "smoked", if you look at most 997 the clear markers match the headlights as the same look I went for.

Here is a comparison shot before I installed mine. not the greatest but you get the point.

So 997 markers fit 996 cars? because the ones in ur pic look like the eBay ones I got above. So I'm guessing they copied the 997 clears.

Nope just meant to use the 997 finish as a reference. The ones I got were for a 996 specifically. Got mine also from Ebay out of I think a U.k company and fully satisfied.
