I want to get the same bulbs for the side marker lights (already replaced amber with clear side markers) and I found a pair at <a href="http://www.silverfusion.co.uk/products.html" target="_blank">Silverfusion</a> which are labeled W5W but the owner's manual states the replacement bulb to be WY5W.

To more closely match the bi-xenons on my '02 Carrera, I replaced the fog lights with PIAA H3 Xtreme White (part number PIA15256) <a href="http://store.yahoo.com/rodi/xxxpiah3.html," target="_blank">http://store.yahoo.com/rodi/xxxpiah3.html,</a> and the side marker bulbs with PIAA 168 wedge Xtreme Super White (part number PIA19172) <a href="http://store.yahoo.com/rodi/xxx191series1.html." target="_blank">http://store.yahoo.com/rodi/xxx191series1.html.</a> These sidemarker bulbs (with clear side markers) blend into the overall appearance when lit.

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.

My name is ADJ and a new Porsche owner. I just recently traded in my 2001 BMW 330i for my new 2003 C2 - Seal Gray w/Blk Leather. I live in Indy but ended up having to go to Kentucky for my car because I wanted my Porsche experience to be great and the people in Indy and Cincy weren't willing to give me the experience I wanted. The guys in Kentucky were awesome!
I do have a question - I just recently purchased silvervision bulbs for the front and rear turn signals. I want to get the same bulbs for the side marker lights (already replaced amber with clear side markers) and I found a pair at <a href="http://www.silverfusion.co.uk/products.html" target="_blank">Silverfusion</a> which are labeled W5W but the owner's manual states the replacement bulb to be WY5W. Are these the same bulbs?

LED bulbs as front and rear side markers.

Ocean blue one now has blue front side markers.
Haven't done the turn signals yet, so I can't help you there except to refer you to the operator's manual with tells you how to pull out the headlight assembly. If for some reason you don't have one <a href="http://www.suncoastporsche.com" target="_blank">www.suncoastporsche.com</a> has it on their website.
Congratulations on your new 996 and welcme to the best Porsche Forum in the world!
Wonder if you got your car from Blue Grass? I live in MA and bought from them thru a broker. They are the best!
BTW, I couldn't open your pics 'cause they say you have to be a member to do so.
Love Arctic Silver!
DonW - I did end up at Blue Grass in KY. They were awesome. I took the plunge for $20 and ordered the 'sliverfusion' side marker lights which are similar to the silvervision bulbs, so I will let you know how they work out.
Sorry about the link to the pics and needing to be a member. It's a great site if you are into detailing - been there for several years and learned alot! I will post pics later on this site.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
