the reason for the side marker lights are so the car is visible from the side. The US cars have the orange reflector on the corner light. This acts the same as the side marker light. Having it clear defeats the purpose of it. AFAIK no subaru's have side marker lights that act as turn signals. They weren't designed to do this, so setting them up to do this isn't really the best idea.

Don't assume too much. There are some SVXes that have them set up with turn signals.

My Land Rover has amber side marker lights that only work as turn signals. So do Volkswagon's, BMW's, Audi's, etc... If the lenses are clear the only thing that matters is that the bulb signals an amber color.

Turn signal repeaters.

Yes the side turn repeaters on the Euro are set into the guard,and work with the front turn lights.

I researched the side marker issue when I was considering moving to the UK and having my US-spec SVX converted to MOT standards.

The only time an amber light allowed to illuminate (or flash) is when making a turn. That is one reason that UK-spec front corner lights for the SVX have white reflectors and why their parking lights are white and are embedded into the headlight housings. They do not have the amber "parking/running" lights on all of the time as we do in the States.

The amber turn signals and side markers only illuminate (flash) when the turn signal is on.

I checked this out on a UK-spec 92 SVX when I was over in Harrogate.
yep! ... same in india too.... side marker lights (either clear or amber) work as turn signals along with front ones.
