Just got my LED 718 style tail lights yesterday and they look awesome on my black Boxster!
Fit and gaps/lines are pretty good, not quite OEM but close. One light has a little extra black sealant showing under the lens but not too noticeable. I'll adjust the fit a little when it's above freezing, and I cannot wait until the snow melts and I can get it out in the sun to really see them.
Here is a pic of the right unit installed.

Changed the AOS, cleaned the top and front of the engine, rerouted the overflow for the power steering so it doesn't dump on the top of the engine. Bent some typing to go around the AC compressor and down the front of the engine. Debated if I should do the AOS but when I pulled the intake to service the starter there was a lot of oil in the intake. The one in the car had a part number ending 00 and the new one was 01. Also going to replace the old hard intake boots.

installed 718 lights. They work fine, but a few shoddy details: too much wire, fit is not as close tolerance as OEM, no clip like OEM to clip excess wiring so wires are too lose, clip incorrectly labeled R was Left and L was Right.

Unfortunately most of the aftermarket lights fit like crap. I’m getting rid of my Depo’s and going to stock 03-04 style tail lights. The body lines are just garbage.

Sorry to hear the quality isn't great. They look fantastic from the photo.

I have seen multiple you tube videos on replacing the serpentine belt. Is it really that simple? How many here have done this seemingly easy task?

Very Easy on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being hardest); it is a 1. Easier than oil change.

The toughest part is getting to the belt through the bulkhead behind the seats. Changing the belt iself is a 0 on a scale of 1-10.

Yes, it really is that easy...! I spent more time removing the carpeting and engine cover than I spent removing and installing the belt.

LED turn signal/DRLs 1/2 done.

I took her an 94 Boxster out of winter storage. Yea!!

Before the upgrade, etc., “fun” got to drive a 2016 GT4 yesterday. Wow! It was sooo tight like a race car. Instantly one with it except the ceramic brakes are incredibly sensitive. Just got 2002 Boxster s. Started Koni active system struts. Volgtland lowering springs. Short shift kit. Used spoiler. Fixed broken support under drivers seat. Hydraulic fluids. Sparks and coils. Blackstone analysis...hoping good results. Convertible cable. Trunk shocks. Floor mats. Badge and center cap. Still lots more but got it 82k miles $5500. Engine and tranny and body clean. Needing some luck!!.

[kk2002s]

Drove 3 hours yesterday. Been about a month+ since I last drove it and that was in the salt beds of NJ. She just runs, really well. Sadly less and less drive time.

Emerald: I believe the GT4 is basically a race car and that thing will spoil you. Nice work on the Box and keeping it on the road.. You don't need luck, just faith that the folks in Finland had a good day when your Box came down the line.

Best of luck

I hit a nice mileage number on my way home from work yesterday. I've got almost 300 of my 1,500 break-in miles in already. (I don't usually snap pictures while driving.)

[Steelepuls]

Going home from work, I drove for 7 miles with my left turn signal on. Got on the on-ramp signaling left, onto the highway screaming to 80mph and then proceeded to pass 10-12 cars, when I stopped at the light I looked down and saw the green light blinking. Laughed at myself and finally turned it off.

BTDT.....multiple times! The vaunted German engineers could have equipped the directionals with a louder sound or more visible indicator.....especially in a convertible

Rear Drop Links installed. Seller gave me pair of Porsche rotors and parking brake shoes. Wayne (101 projects) was right; there will be cursing. Installing the shoes are a PITA.
