Clear side markers SL 63?

I think it's replacement for the yellow reflectors/side markers that are required on US spec vehicles. I've replaced them on other cars before.

Sorry, yes, that is what I meant. Do you know if they have them for our car?

unfortunately, if you look at the Euro spec, they don't have any reflectors on the front side so a swap is not available unless someone independently would make clear ones

buy a second set - have them color matched to the body work. IMO

suggest you get a Duplicolour spray and paint them litely so the orange shines thro when lit--obliterating them with solid paint would get you a ticket in my and other locations--When the white lenses are avail you are supposed to replace the bulb with an amber bulb--I have often lightly sprayed the OEMS with silver It hides quite well but the amber shows when lit

I've replaced these on a few 911s. Even with clear markers the bulb is amber so it doesn't change the appearance when lit.

My OCD is screaming at me for the jacked up circle. Please hold your finger down and make it a perfect circle next time. Thank you! Haha
Plus, clear smoked/tinted lights would look great on that color.

I think the marker is just a reflector without a light; the front headlamp has a yellow led at the far edge that works as the side marker; in Euro version, that led is white.
