Panamera Clear Side Markers - BumperPlugs

I currently have my orange side markers covered in a dark window tint film, but found the Panamera Clear Side Markers from BumperPlugs that I'm interested in replacing the stock markers. I have a couple of questions that I'm looking for feedback:
  • Installation: has anyone here purchased these and installed them? Given the design of the bumper cover, this doesn't look to be as simple as replacing the side markers from a 911 or Boxster/Cayman.
  • How does it look? Does anyone have any pics to share?

Search for 'Panamera' and it will be in the Clear Lighting section.

OK, apparently all you have to do to figure this out is get off your duff and check the owners manual...

Page 313: It's as simple as turning the front wheel to the inside (depending on the side your trying to change), and inserting a screwdriver into the access hole to release the cap, then it pops out...

It looks like I'll be buying some clear side markers as soon as the dark tint begins to peel (which doesn't look like it will be too long).

BTW, my dealer said they were getting them in when I picked up our P4S I just haven't followed up on it. I know Eric and he is a great guy but you might check there as well. Like you said in post 2, I need to get off my duff and order them as well.... Post pics!

I'd paint them to match the car...
That's what all the BMW guys do, and it looks much cleaner.

Painted > Euro > tinted > stock.

I'm actually a fan of the marker lights. And not always a fan of the clear corners. Guess me likey the OEM look.
