Don't think Boxsters have bulb out warning lights.

You could either connect it as well so that the high beam bulb flashes when your dipped beams aren't on, or install a relay that switches to the bi-xenons when the dipped beams are on, and the separate bulbs when they're not.

I did the latter, but removed the relay afterwards as one of them failed on me - they were cheap Ebay relays mind!
