In case any halogen equipped Boxster owners are interested, the OSRAM Night Breaker Unlimited is an awesome bulb! Used them on Saturday night for the first time and compared to whatever H7 bulbs were in there before, the Night Breaker was a huge improvement in visibility. I drove the car on some dark country roads and these bulbs did a great job of lighting up the road.
Now I need to get some for the highbeams.

Get back to us in 6 months to update on if or how bad they've burnt the inner lenses. Until then, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
Osram is a good brand, so hopefully they will be fine. However, I've yet to see a halogen bulb that doesn't cause brown spots or burning eventually. Design flaw with the headlights.

I do appreciate the advice particlewave. I also have an HID kit but thought these bulbs are just a few minute job and less likelihood of odd electrical issues. I might be better off with the HID kit...or just never drive in the dark. For now I will just leave them in and monitor them closely and if I notice anything out of the ordinary then make a change.
