I searched the web and found a lot of posting on this. One of the best was on the Rennlist 996 forum. The switch used is a 996 Targa Shade Switch, Part No. 996 613 119 10 A05.
On 986 Boxsters these switches will only fit in the bat wing with cut outs (Part No. 996 552 335 02 01C), or the console if you don't have heated seats. I had two blanks on the left side of the radio but unlike the 996 switches, the 986 are slanted and side specific.
I had to flip the one on the right so it would fit properly. It appears the bump on the switch has to be on the outside for them to seat properly. This makes sense as all of the other switches are set up this way.
I lost the "Boxster S" script that was on the OEM bat wing and will work on a suitable substitute.
Here is a link to the Rennlist posting I used. Skip some of the posting as there are some typical internet bantering.
