It's a straight swap, with no modifications needed except for possibly having to replace the two fuses at A9 and A10 with 15 amp fuses. If the Litronics were not offered as an option in 1998, all the Boxsters had the lower capacity fuses rated at 7.5 Amps. I know that was the case for 1997, but not sure about 1998, or early 1998.

You won't have the functionality of the movement of the originals, unless you also install the control module.

If you want to do the complete swap and get the functionality, here is the parts list:

996 631 157 07 1 Left Litronic headlight

996 631 158 07 1 Right Litronic headlight

000 044 900 38 1 Headlight control unit, with mounting hardware

999 652 568 22 2 Electrical pin/receptacle, size 2

N 020 904 4 4 Tie wrap

996 612 988 00 1 Electrical wiring harness, including 4-pin plug housing (2 x)

Two 15 amp fuses (if you find 7.5 amp fuses in positions A9 and A10).

Regards, Maurice.
