Clear side signals versus OEM?

[al3x4n]

Can someone tell me if these clear ones are an upgrade, and if so, what is it called on the window sticker? I bought the car CPO. For reference, this is a chalk turbo.

They look the same as on my European car

They are not an upgrade.

EU gets clear ones, USA gets orange one. They were switched with the EU ones, by a 3rd party shop or by the previous owner.

These are not an option in the US. I bought my clear ones from SunCoast.

If you are in the US, suncoast is the answer. The ones they sell are the OEMs for Europe and others.

In the USA, keep the orange ones, it's what Porsche and the NHTSA intended.....

Yes, and you’ll need to if you live in a State that requires annual safety inspection. I keep my stock ugly DOT orange in my frunk so the dealer can swap out (and back) in order to pass. I might just get Amazon orange reflector stickers and put on for the safety inspections as I don’t want them to get all marred up. Had the dealer include the Euro/clear reflectors as part of the deal

+1 to this. Easy to do. There are videos and posts on a step by step if needed. Held by 1 screw.
This should be the first mod for anyone in the US. I bought mine way ahead of time and swapped them as soon as had the car delivered.

There are after market ones that are clear/smoke but still light up amber to meet us requirement. https://flat6motorsports.com/collec...ports-clear-or-smoked-led-side-markers-taycan.

I wrapped mine in smoke. Quick and easy.

They just need to light up amber? The housing doesn't have to be amber like the OEM it comes with the US version?

Are you having doubts? We can help if you have questions.

Check the laws in your state for specifics. In mine it states the light must be amber, but doesn’t mention the housing at all. Some require the marker be reflective and the light amber.
