What Suncoast sells is the genuine Porsche European version. It is the exact same as the amber marker, it's just the reinstall requires a little finesse. The spacer or, as @wemct mentions, the screw can cause a slight alignment issue if not installed ideally.My dealer said Porsche should release their own clear side markers for the Taycan...maybe those will fit more snug? Don't know when this will happen....I mean they already have them since outside the US clear side markers are standard.
Porsche doesn't have different markers in the US because they like orange. They're DOT required, so Porsche won't ever be offering them officially, as they technically aren't road legal.My dealer said Porsche should release their own clear side markers for the Taycan...maybe those will fit more snug?

I went to dealer - was told they have seen this on 50% of the Taycans between April and July delivery.Mine aren’t flush either...how to fix?
Hi, not true. My dealer installed clear markers for me at delivery. They are legal since the LED lights up orange.Porsche doesn't have different markers in the US because they like orange.

what did they charge you to install them?Hi, not true. My dealer installed clear markers for me at delivery. They are legal since the LED lights up orange.
To clarify; US cars are required to have amber reflectors and lights for import. Some states are also required to have front license plates. But your dealer will still install clear markers or not install a front license plate in a state that requires them at your request.Hi, not true. My dealer installed clear markers for me at delivery.

Got any pics of the clear side markers installed by your dealer? Any close up shots?Hi, not true. My dealer installed clear markers for me at delivery. They are legal since the LED lights up orange.
Agree! But: I did have to pay for the labor. $$$To clarify; US cars are required to have amber reflectors and lights for import. Some states are also required to have front license plates.

The issue, I believe, is not the light portion but that cars must have amber REFLECTORS. Porsche does this by making the light casing reflective amber, thus satisfying both portions at once. Changing to clear removes the amber reflector but keeps the light.
It's Porsche's responsibility to manufacture & ship cars that meet regulations and the owner's responsibility to keep the car compliant, the dealership is not responsible.
By installing the clear markers you are technically in violation. However, the word technically is used very strongly here as you're almost certainly not going to get in trouble.
@rquinton It's just the cost of the clear markers to have them installed at/before delivery. You can look that up on Suncoast. I have not heard of anyone paying for the labor, my dealer offered to do it for free but I didn't get the markers in time.
$145 plus partswhat did they charge you to install them?
