I am very curious to see how this LED side-marker strip looks. I did this last year and subsequently removed it because the LED strip started showing condensation. A plug-n-play insert into the side marker would be a nice solution, if it looks good.

They factory 996 markers ARE running lights - they are on with the parking lights. I have no issues and great lighting in the OE lens. The correct bulbs makes a difference.

Sorry guys,finally got around to taking some photo's. Here are pictures of the new ones i got and what they look like compared to my old aftermarket ones.I really like the quality of these side markers. I also really like how you can see them from behind. The LED'S are bright,you can't really tell from the photo's..
