Yes and Yes.

US cars have amber lenses and white bulbs - RoW cars have clear lenses and amber bulbs.

From a dealer expect to pay about $17 each for the RoW (clear) lenses.

997 631 033 01 Left side marker

997 631 034 01 Right side marker

If you want a (US legal) yellow bulb then also get two 999 631 138 90 - about $1.84 each retail.

Anyone know how to install these bad boys? I got a set from SunCoast as well...just not sure how to install.

Thanks!

[EDIT: found this link: http://www.flat-6.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20675 going to see if it's truly as easy as that!]

[FINAL EDIT: It was easy: 10 min total. Just needed a flat screwdriver to unclip the little metal "bayonet lock"...final pictures attached below. I also discovered the procedure for replacing the turn signal bulbs in the User Manual details the removal and replacement of the side marker lenses...it can be found on page 268 of the MY06 Porsche 997 User Guide]

Hi,

I bought mine from Suncoast Porsche.

Ditto here. The Suncoast guys are great for putting all the Tequipment stuff online for sale, great to work with + no sales tax if you're out of state. Good stuff.

Here's the direct link to the Porsche Clear Side Markers:

There is no need to use any tools. Just to push the marker lens back against the spring clip located on the rear of the marker lens until the front retainer tab of the marker lens clears the fender.

Absolutely. The spring clip is what the 911 owners manual (~page 268) calls the "bayonet lock", and with my big fingers I just found it popped off nicely with a flat screwdriver is all. A very quick, easy and inexpensive mod that brings the 997 a tiny bit back towards it's original european design.
