Shifter gaiter and tailight...
 
Hey guys,
Question for you, one of the tailights has gone out on my 1999 Boxster and I need to get that replaced. Also am looking for a replacement for the leather (vinyl) gaiter that goes around the shift knob as it's quite worn. I'm hoping to smarten it up for selling. Where would be the best place to source these bits? How difficult is it to fit a new bulb??
RandallNeighbour are you out there? Perhaps that place in Oregon is the best place to get them from? I can't remember what the place is called and can't find them on the interweb.. :confused:

thanks in advance :)
Rob.

I'm not sure about the gaiter, but I found the tailight replacement to be relatively easy. The procedure is shown in the owners manual. In my 2000 a cable (I presume it is the trunk-opening cable) interferes with removal of the driver's side assembly. The passenger side is much easier. Just take your time and have a good light available to help you see how to manuever the light assembly out. The bulbs were readily available at a regular auto parts store.

I hope that helps.

thanks guys :)
