The next generation Boxsters are rumored to be going with LED's all around. So why not be ahead of the game, if thats what you are looking for. Alos check out ULTRA tailights. They are from England, and lok great. LED and different surround colors. Bit pricey, but what isnt. Do a google search for them. As far as headlights, seems no matter what you try, eventually everyone breaks done and buys the Litronics. One day, guess I will too. Good luck!

Those are aftermarket, not OEM...big difference in quality.

Well, to me, I want to know that my taillights will always work, so nobody rear ends me when poor quality components or connections fail. But that's just me.

No offense, but thats just you (TODD), and your wallet talking. Your a business man, and discounting the quality of aftermarket, when people are looking for advice, is not cool. This is not your personal marketing tool.

Not necessarily true - my money is where my mouth is, as when I had my 986S, prior to EPIQ, I purchased the OEM taillights for the very same reason, rather than getting aftermarket versions. I think aftermarket obviously has a place or we wouldn't offer so much of it on our site, but on certain key components of the car I choose OEM, and taillights are one of them. I have an aftermarket seat, harnesses (not available OEM), and strut braces in my car, and OEM control arms, wheels, and side marker lights, which I would be fine with as aftermarket because I don't consider them that detrimental.
It's not a 'personal marketing tool', speedster. I might be a businessman, but when it comes to Boxsters, I was a driver/owner/enthusiast far longer, and still am.

So what is the difference than these Suncoast Porsche is elling for $165 for the set? I can in no way believe these are aftermarket from a dealer.
