Emergency Blinkers
 
Hello and Happy New Years.
I recently bought a 2001 Porsche Boxter 3.2s and brought it in for it's first inspection.
I live in Portugal
Every thing was good but it was noted my emergency flashers are white and they should be orange or red.
I tried looking for replacement bulbs on line but could not find any.
Are these bulbs replaceable or do I need to replace the whole light assembly?
I do have an appt at the local Porsche dealer but would like to have this info prior.
Thanks

The bulbs can be replaced. Search YouTube videos to see how to remove the tail lights and open them up. You should be able to just remove the bulb and replace with an orange bulb. Do you have a local auto parts store? The bulbs are a standard type. This is available locally in the USA.

In the past I've seen "bulb paint" sold (can't recall where though).......It's basically a "dip" procedure. You "dip" the glass portion of the bulb in the translucent paint, wait for it to dry and then install.......might be a good "last resort" if needed.
