My '03 markers are clear and I'm wondering if they were changed by the PO.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Were they amber from the factory for the entire 996 run? My '03 markers are clear and I'm wondering if they were changed by the PO. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I don't think any of the USA spec cars had them in any year.

POST 3Original post

I believe you are correct. Amber markers were original equipment on all US spec cars to meet DOT regulations. Clear side markers do not meet DOT spec, even today. I've heard several stories of people on reenlist receiving citations from over zealous police officers.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 16522106

Well, I'll run the chance of getting busted. I like the clear a whole lot more than the amber. By the way - it really doesn't matter what color the plastic is, does it? If there's an amber bulb in there?

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 16522190

I believe the lack of an amber reflector is the issue. I'm with you - I switched the side markers to clear on all my 911s right after I bought them.

POST 6Original post

My '99 C4 has amber side markers. I believe that was the only MY to have amber.

POST 7Original post

My '99 has amber side markers, from day one. I've never understood the aversion to amber side markers or the fried eggs. Oh well.

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 16525042

Are you asking about the rear tail lights? If you are, '99 was the only model year to get the orange/red tail lights. If you're asking about the fender lights, they all were orange. I'm with you. I bought '99 orange/red tail lights for my 996.2. I even have a set of front and rear amber lights ready to go on an E46 M3 I don't own yet.

Ageed with the ambers - my very early �99 has amber front and rear and I like them. The clear ones never looked quite as good to me. Fried eggs!! Daryll
