If you use the key to manually unlock the door, the alarm will activate unless you put the key in the ignition switch and turn it to the first position within 10 seconds.
With the light switch, simply turn it to the second click without pulling it out, to turn on the low beams. Pulling it out turns on fog lights and parking lights, as already mentioned.
As far as I can tell there is no warning indicator for blown headlamps.
My rear suspension arms had to be replaced at about 45000 miles, and reports of suspension work are common on this forum, so I guess Boxsters are like BMWs.
(This is for my 2004 base 986)
