Thanx manx,

Your link to the California Vehicle Code says this (regarding side lights):

"25100. (a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (d), every vehicle 80 inches or more in overall width shall be equipped during darkness as follows:

. . .

(2) At least one amber side-marker lamp on each side near the front and at least one red side-marker lamp on each side near the rear.

. . .

[Subdivisions b and c also apply to vehicles that are 80 inches or more in overall width.]"

According to porscheusa.com, the width of the 987 is 71 inches.

Therefore, it would appear under California law -- assuming there is no other code section that applies to vehicles less than 80 inches in overall width -- that I can use clear bulbs with clear markers, which will glow a soft white, and not be required to use any amber.
