Hopefully Suncoast will have them. They do for the 911. I ordered them from them for my 991. Just checked their website and don’t see them for the Taycan yet.

I bought my clear sidemarkers from dealer , they put them on for free

PSA: Reminder, the Taycan side marker do not slide out sans tools like the sports cars do. There is a screw holding them in that needs to be removed first. If you try to just force them out like the 911/Caymans, you will snap the tab off. Don’t ask me how I know.

I was surprised to discover that my Porsche delearship (Oakville, ON, Canada), or at least my SA, swapped them on my order without asking. I was happy to find this out because the clear ones look much better, IMO.

I just DIY this on my MY2022. Mine was mid-November build date. There is a very important change to these instructions, at least on my car. The screws that hold the fender liner in are T20 but the screw that holds the side marker light into the car is actually T15 on the MY2022. Took me a little while to figure this out.

On the second side, I didn't even loosen the fender liner. Just remove the T15 screw holding in the side marker light and pull it away from the car as far as the wire on the plug will allow. Then, from the front side of the car, take a small screwdriver and push on the upper part of the tab on the wire clip and apply pressure to pull off the connector while very gently pulling on the side marker light and it will slide right off.

As for the issues with it not sitting flush, there is a little plastic tab on the front of the side marker light and there is a slot in the fender where it slides in. If you don't get that tab seated in the hole in the fender then the light will not sit perfectly flush.

Also wanted to mention that there wasn't any spacer involved on the 2022. Hope this helps someone.

I can confirm, one screw only to remove and install on 2022 CT. Looks much better now. Threading the screw into the new unit in advance was very helpful. Thanks for the install tips!

Agreed it was T15 for me too and I didn’t see the spacer anywhere. I also didn’t have to remove the liner; there was an indentation in the liner perfect for a small ratchet wrench.

I concur. It's about a 5 minute job per side. My 2023 CT had T20 fasteners. Pre threading them helps ease the install. Tools I used below.

For what it's worth....I just blacked out the markers completely as I've done on some Benz cars.
The LED strip inside the housing still burns a yellow or whatever. So, for my opinin, no good.
Not a fan of side markers but on other Pcars I was able to replace the bulbs inside clear housings so they burn a soft blue LED to match headlamps.
Two yrs ago destroyed a pair of clear Tayans trying to do same. Can't be done, at least that I could see, so just blacked them out.
To each his own.
