Description of the problem	This is not a complaint of a vehicle i own but a complaint i believe to be safety related. Some porsche models like 911 and boxter have a side marker light that is located at the wheel opening. At night there is a bright white light that shines back at vehicles driving behind the porsche in the lane next to them. This either makes it hard for the other driving to see as this light has a blinding effect or will give the driver the impression that an on coming car is approaching in their lane. I believe the fix to be simple but the current situation is unsafe.
