Looks like I will have to refund you a set of ballasts and you'll need to try a another HID kit that works for your car "specifically". Your nearest HID guru shop should be able to help trying a few kits and find the model that work for your car. What causes this is unknown yet (according to my research anyway). But it seems to be one car out of 200 who is not aftermarket HID kit friendly.

Give me a call if you prefer to talk, or email (I'm on the same address). Report back here when fixed
Thanks for your answer. The problem started shortly after re-installing the headlights. I also just replaced my ignition switch (common problem). I did not suspect that it was the headlights until I read on the internet that it is a problem when retrofitting xenon headlights.

Is there any way to test the ballasts for malfunctions? I did not think that Boxsters would have this problem. (The all are basically the same,right?)

Update: The retrofit center here in the Netherlands, has a good canbus Ballast, but the cannot be 100% sure that it will cure the problem. The current one you supplied has an AMP connection right?
