Answered my own question by looking up some of your previous posts. Looks like those are the headlights you have!

You could do like a few have done already and sort the issue by patching things up e.g. adding some resistance onto the light circuit. Problem remains? no worries just add more but not too much or you'll see your brightness diminishing greatly (dimmed headlights?) and those resistors' temp rising :/ Needs trials. If really that issue you are having doesn't want to go away, then you'll need to completely isolate the lighting system from the existing car circuit by connecting everything directly onto the 12v battery using a relay/harness type setup.

You could also buy a new battery, an alternator, and all should get back to normal same as the other thousand of boxsters/996s out there who are also equipped with the same headlights you have. Or HID kits!?

But again, I'm not a electro pro. Just a wild guess yea
