Clear Sidemarker

Picked up a set of clear markers, is there a reason on the clear that the bulb installs in the rear of the lens now as oppose to the center on the old? Is it to hide the orange bulb?

Yep. I really tip my hat to Porsche for thinking of that. It keeps the lens clear during the day when the bulb's not on. I was considering putting a clear bulb in it anyway to make sure it looked clear (non-yellow) when it wasn't on. But, there was no need. During the day you cannot see the orange bulb at all. And it looks nice when it's on.

I just did this over the weekend on a black 2004 Cayenne S. Wow, what a difference!!! I really love the new look. I also have to give props to www.bumperplugs.com I ordered the markers on Wed, he emailed me immediately asking what generation the truck was and the parts showed up on Friday. Actual Porsche parts all packaged up and perfect. (I am in no way affiliated with them other then giving them money and in return being a very happy customer) The install was difficult until I bit the bullet and just unscrewed all the fasteners and pulled out the inner liner. After that it was a breeze. I would offer that unfastening all the screws is a really good idea. My wife has an ML430 that I tried to wrestle with the liners on and ended up actually bending some sheet metal so the extra few minutes it takes to do it right could save a huge headache by not subjecting yourself to bending the precious Porsche fenders :)

I was looking on ebay for these clear markers when I read your post. I liked the idea that they were unquestionably authentic Porsche from bumperplugs.com so I ordered them just before the Independence Day weekend and they were shipped promptly after. I did get a reply message over the weekend to a question I had, which I didn't expect. Same as DSP, no affiliation with these guys, but just confirming that they do seem to be very focused on customer satisfaction and I felt a recommendation was in order.

just made the change as well on my black 04 cayenne s. very happy with the results, the top torx screw is a pain...but eventually it comes out. i tried for about 20min to put it back in on either side and just decided to screw it. after putting in the wheel liner and the bottom torx screw, i figured the odds were that it wouldnt fall out of place. just what i did...fwiw.
