I polished my headlights the other day and after I reinstalled them I noticed one of my parking lights was out. I used these bulbs to replace the H6W parking bulbs in the litronic headlights of my 2000 Boxster:

The light is white and they match the light from the xenon low beams better than stock. I'll provide an update after 30 days regarding durability. H6W bulbs are hard to find in auto parts stores and they are usually pricey. These will be a bargain if they last two or three years.

For some reason the non-litronic headlights use a different type of bulb, so these will not fit in a stock halogen light.

I also had a problem with my headlight switch. It would take 4 or 5 on and off cycles before the lights would illuminate. Rather than replace the switch, I cleaned it with electronic contact cleaner. It is working fine now, but that is another issue I will be monitoring.
