Simple, but maybe stupid side marker question
I am picking up my 2003 Boxster S and I love the fact that the side markers are clear vs. the amber that I see on so many others. However, I don't know why they are clear. Other 2003's that I see have the amber, and I know for a fact that my father in law (who I am getting the car from) did not change them out himself.
So what's the deal?
Thanks

Is the FIW 1st owner? Pretty sure they came stock with amber.

Yeah he is the original owner. That is why I am curious. The car is seal gray, don't know it that would make a difference, an I can't find anything online......

Is your father in law just messing with your mind?

Nope. And I meant to type Step-Father, my in-laws are visiting so I guess I have that in my head
But I know he isn't pulling my chain. And here is a pic:

Great looking car! That is what I want my car to look like. I hate the yellow headlights on my car.

I guess it really isn't that big a deal, just curious.
Love that link though. Good info!

Got my answer
I just found out that the car was ordered from Porsche that way. It was originally delivered to Boardwalk Porsche in Texas, and they order their cars that way.....
Guess I just got lucky!
