That light you're seeing replaces the concept of the metal clip wear indicator on the Boxster. I haven't yet installed the Pagid blue compound pads I purchased for the Boxster, but that is what I plan to do when my first set wears out. They were billed as "performance street/autocross" if I remember correctly.

I installed a set of the Hawk HPS (high performance street) on my Subaru with Brembo rotors all around about a month ago and have been very pleased with them in that application. Stopping distances are improved and they have been quiet with little obvious dust.
