I think de-ambering updates the car, but everyone has different opinions. I first bought the clear halogens to replace the original amber/egg style on my 2002, then went to Litronics this Spring which I fully de-ambered. It can get expensive, but if you sell your old lights you get some of the money back.
I don't mean to threadjack, but if anyone is looking for a very nice set of clear halogen headlights, I have a set for sale that are in excellent condition (they were only used for 2 short Minnesota summers). I've been planning to list them on eBay, but I'd sell them for $650 plus shipping on this forum. They will be shipped in the OEM boxes that they came in when I bought them.
I chose to buy this set new because I did not want to buy a set that looked 'sandblasted' or that were yellowing like many used lights out there. I have not seen many clear halogen sets on eBay (mostly used Litronics or the old orange/egg style, and Litronics prices have gone up for a nice set). I am sure someone could buy a cheaper set, but they won't look as good as these.
These lights will fit any Boxster from 1997 to 2004.
