Finally, clear side markers!

thanks! found it. are they easy replacements? plug and play? I assume they do not blink with turn signals, but just on when lights are turned on..correct? are you happy with them?

Yes, easy fit plug and play.
In the UK we don't have permanent amber side lights, ours are off until you turn your indicator on then they flash in time with the other indicators.

I'm a complete noob and I was able figure theses out with a little help (side markers) from my father in law. My car is a 2009 Boxster Non-S. Stupid question coming: What does de-ambered mean?

Thanks,

de-ambered is basically removing any sign of amber color from your car.
unless your name is JD, and then it has all different meaning.

The first 986 models all had amber coloured indicator lenses, and they changed these to clear light clusters on the face lift model and a lot of owners bought the new clear lights to "de-ambered" them.
However they did have an internal amber cover inside the light cluster for the indicators that you could see if you caught the Boxster in a certain angel and light on it.

sorry about the Grandson, that's his preferred seat in the Boxster and it is the best photo where you can see the amber lens cover inside the light cluster on a 986 face lift to get rid of this someone called it "Amberectomy" I did an "How to" on our UK forum.


Link here if you are planning on doing it.

Your link didn't work for me I would be interested to see what the UK method is. Can you post it here?

Hi jaykay.
I just tried the link and it worked for me , but I'm not IT trained so it might just mean I'm UK based and it will only work for us, haven't got a clue why it wont work for you to be honest.
The best thing you can do is a search on this forum for "Amberectomy" or "de-ambered" this is where I think I had the details as my "How to" hasn't got as in depth detail as the original thread.
Good luck it is well worth doing if you have the Face lift model.
