At $21 a piece (which btw includes the light-bulb) they are a simple mod that changed the look at the car more than I would have thought. And they are real simple to install. Literally took 2 minutes.

You can also get silver bulbs that blink yellow. Then you won't have that little yellow dot showing. You have to want to totally 'de-amber' to do this but it does look nice with or without the yellow side markers. Now you will be hooked and off to even more expensive mods......it never ends........and if you are ever "finished" you will probably become bored and irritable which could lead to divorce....so I recommend caution.

LOL - that is exactly what I am going through right now. Every day I am looking for some more mods to do and I am loving every minute of it! I have literally listed 6 or 7 additional things I want to do over the next months. The good thing about going through this though is that I have totally re-committed and fallen in love with the car again after having driven it for 4 or 5 years. I had started to feel a little luke-warm on it and had started looking for a replacement. It feels like I went through therapy or something and now I feel like I'm driving a new car. Great feeling - and so far hasn't been that expensive. I am shopping around for some 18" rims though - the 16" I have on now just don't do the rest of the car justice...

Thanks,

The side markers were the first mod I did since I bought the car new in 02. You are right, I have seal grey also and the match almost looks like it was done at the factory.

Now, all you have to do is lower the guy on springs with 18's and you will literally get more stares than 911's (new and old).
