996 Pumpkins Replaced

I replaced the orange sidemarkers with European OEM clear sidemarkers from Hella, got them from Pelican Parts for $40 for the pair. This is on my 2003 996 Seal Gray Metallic, they go perfectly and pretty much match the color of the car.

Literally takes 5 minutes to swith them out super easy mod.

at the time I worked at a porsche dealer I had about 20+ pairs in a box ... I suggest you go to the local dealer and talk to a friendly sales man and for a cup of Starbucks coffee you should walk away with at least a pair ... I gave them out for free, but nobody needed them

Just got mine today and put them on. HUGE difference in the looks. Totally worth the $45 and literally took me 5 minutes to install both sides.

They really are, literally, the same color as Seal Grey. EVERYONE that likes cars, and sees my car, thinks it's cool how Porsche matched the lens to match the color. I also got rid of the amber bulbs for either the "clear" ones that light amber, or you can just do a quick light spray paint with silver right on the glass of the amber ones. They look silver in daylight, but light amber at night. Little to no reduction in light output either.
