In the UK we don't have permanent amber side lights, ours are off until you turn your indicator on then they flash in time with the other indicators.

The car is used on public streets, right? Don't people see it all the time on the streets?

If anyone would like to know my license plate number, I'll be glad to post it here. Without loosing any sleep.

I hear you and your point is a good one, but its not the Boxster that I am worried about having stolen. Its what's in the house that is attached to the garage that stores the Boxster that I am worried about. Nice cars = nice things = nice target. I think that most people posting pic's are just trying to minimize online advertising that they own nice stuff.

However they did have an internal amber cover inside the light cluster for the indicators that you could see if you caught the Boxster in a certain angel and light on it.

sorry about the Grandson, that's his preferred seat in the Boxster and it is the best photo where you can see the amber lens cover inside the light cluster on a 986 face lift to get rid of this someone called it "Amberectomy" I did an "How to" on our UK forum.

Guvs.

Your link didn't work for me I would be interested to see what the UK method is. Can you post it here?

Hi jaykay.
I just tried the link and it worked for me , but I'm not IT trained so it might just mean I'm UK based and it will only work for us, haven't got a clue why it wont work for you to be honest.
The best thing you can do is a search on this forum for "Amberectomy" or "de-ambered" this is where I think I had the details as my "How to" hasn't got as in depth detail as the original thread.
Good luck it is well worth doing if you have the Face lift model.
Guvs.
