Thanks for the heads up Rick. As Boxtaboy (sp?) noted, if you had been in the Porsche community for the better part of a decade as I have, (started on Porsche Pete's Boxster Board back when it was founded and then migrated to 6speed and Rennlist) you would know that Porsche has increased the prices on many items such as litronics to where the price I am asking is actually quite a good deal for very close to new lights when considering the cost to get them from alternative sources. In fact, if your 2.5L in your 99 were to fail from the IMS, D-chunk, or something else, the reman that Porsche would sell you would likely be more expensive than a remanned X-51 3.6L used in the 02+ 996 cars. Porsche loves to increase the price on older parts.
