I have a 1999 Box 2.5 and am looking to upgrade the lights all round - can anyone recommend light upgrade that are a good fit that are not Porsche or do I need to stick to original parts ?

Thanks
 
See my post further down ...although yours is a older car (no offence ) it seems the same lights will work
 
Karen, you have options.
Get the clear light set from e-bay, fronts, side markers and rears, or do you just mean upgrading the lights you have.
You can fit an aftermarket HID set for the front lights - about £175 ish - again look e-bay, a lot brighter, but you must stick with Porsche lights - unless your into serious body modifications
 
Hi,

I have JUST upgraded my lights all round by changing the amber lights for clear. If this is what you mean DO NOT GO TO PORSCHE!!!!

My OPC qouted me £461 per head light. I bought them for £475 for the pair and they are original Bosch parts - exactly as you'd get from your OPC, excatly the same part that is fitted to Boxsters from the factory and brand new. The same for rear clusters and side repeaters - all original parts, just not with the OPC's mark up!. Front lights take about 3 minutes to change as simply slide out. Connections simply push together when you slide the light back in. The sides pop out. The rears take longer but are very simple. Instructions for removal are in the manual.

Buy from Design 911 - website can be found by typing Design 911 into google. Came the next day. I have a 2001 S and it makes it look so different. It's like owning a new car!

Don't buy the daft looking Crytal Clear lights that can be found on e-bay. It's definately worth buying original parts.....just not at OPC prices!!

Good luck
 
Sorry I though you where talking about bulbs ,as the others have said do not buy Porsche bits
 
Thanks for all your help that was just what I have been after - a recommendation of quality lights that are just as good as the original porsche parts.

I'll be upgrading my lights really soon - once again thanks
