Standard Side Markers:



Soon we will be offering a factory clear LED version. The LED version has a lower and more sleek profile, and of course, has a more interesting light pattern. Looks like you have the LED orange lights, and they also have a slimmer profile and unique light pattern.

Coming soon, the new clear LED Side markers:






More details coming...........



Damn you guys!!! LOL! I just got the 'old' version...now I want the 'new' version! Haha, always goes like this. What an addiction to have!

Then I released the tab separating the light and wiring with a flat head screw driver. My car had no slack in the wire at all and I didn't want to yank on it. I was able to barely get the screw driver in to release the clip. Still very easy and less than 5-10mins total. Car looks great knurly! Totally improves the look. At least I won the race to put the clears on
Exact same experience for me. This is my first 911. Dealer ordered OEM markers and gave them to me as a courtesy gift the day I took delivery. Changed them right away. . . Immediately after 1st Wash.

Nice. I'm digging those clear LED markers. I don't mind the current clear ones I installed, but these look much better and flow with the lines/lights of the car.

When do you expect to release them?

I installed the markers on both my 991 and 981.They are the same for both vehicles. The Trick it to compress the spring by sliding the lens towards the tire until the front part of the marker lifts up.
I got both of them off of Ebay for $62 a pair and 2 day Priority shipping was free.

Ah spot on for that technique. I didn't realize how it worked when I broke mine pulling off the first one. I should have studied the new one more closely before diving in.

BTW, I think Suncoast was closer to $50 for the pair of (incandescents not LEDs).
