I do not use the headlight tool because most of them are a sloppy fit. I use a 5 mm socket.

I ordered 2 copies of the Bentley manual and 2 other Boxster books on the the 28th and according to Amazon they should be here at the end of January. I have most of the factory manual which is about worthless for a DIYer. So I have waited almost 7 years for the aftermarket to do a better job, or at least I hope so. So when it gets here it gets here.

The extra copy is for Peter Smith. He was the PCA tech advisor for the Boxster, owns a Boxster, is the shop foreman at my local dealer, puts on Boxster tech sessions for us local owners, taught me everything I know, and so on. He was asked years ago to write a manual, but he did not have time (he also races) and he did not think there would be enough material for a DIYer book. He will find the bugs in the book.
