After striking out with two different styles from Ebay (terrible quality and fit), I essentially gave up on the idea...
...until I saw these on
Amazon
:
Amazon.com: iJDMTOY Euro Clear Lens Amber Full LED Front Side Marker Light Kit Compatible With Porsche 2006-2012 Cayman/Boxster, 2005-2012 Carrera, Powered by 60-SMD LED, Replace OEM Amber or Clear Sidemarker: Automotive

Anyone have any experience? A similar style is also being sold on Ebay, but there are some tiny differences if you look closely...
Thanks!
ooooh... looks nice... not sure why the video link shows the amber on all the time though....
I installed the
led
side marker lights from
pelican
porsche

) on my 981 CGTS and my son did the same w his 987 B. Fit, look, and ease of install were great, highly recommended. Will attempt to post pic

981
fixtures are a different shape than 987. Maybe he did the clear 987 European fixtures from
Porsche
and did an
LED
bulb?
I made a mistake, both were obtained from
suncoast
and he got the european version (clear w amber bulb) which is not
LED
, my apologies.

It looks like pelican carries the same product. For my 981, i have LED. Again, sorry for confusion.
No worries.... Might give these
Amazon
lights a try and review them. Was hesitant because both eBay sourced
LED lights
were crap that I tried.
dekolds,
Thanks for that link. My car is Platinum Silver and I have been wanting to change to the euro sides. Made it super easy!
Please let us know your thoughts once you have given them a try.
Another vote for
Suncoast
. I bought mine nearly a decade ago. I think they were on sale. Less than $50. Very easy to self-install. Clear lense with non-
LED
amber bulb. Yay... another Speed Yellow.
Another option. Blends nicely with the headlight trim.
Pardon Our Interruption...
I tired those, the build quality was awful on the set I got and they didn't fit well. Not sure if I was unlucky or what.
Ok, the lights I asked about are the ones you want!
Here is why:
same shape and profile as stock units
nice build quality, no plastic defects
look OEM
great fit
look bright and uniform when lit
Amber lights (my preference)
includes resistors to prevent light warnings when in blinker mode (tested and verified function)
good price
