Hi, I'm a very new member and haven't yet found how I create a new thread. Hopefully I'll find out soon but at least answering an existing thread will hopefully get the ball rolling.... except that I can't help the OE because I really want to ask the same question. I've got a base 981 with the standard candle-lit headlamps. I get the feeling the illumination levels for standard Halogen units are from the Dark Ages (you'll have to get used to my puns I'm afraid) but I am aware that changing to "better" H7 and possibly H9 halogen lamps might help a bit. But which ones? The OP is from a couple of years back so maybe technology has moved on a bit since then.
Another alternative would be to replace the halogen lamps with LEDs. Yes, I know that technically these lamps are not legal and might fail the MOT. I would however just like to ask a hypothetical question to anyone who hypothetically has replaced halogen with LEDs what the hypothetical performance is like and if the car gives any nasty messages?
Hopefully I'll meet some nice Boxster owners soon.
Cheers, Tim
