Porsche Boxter 986 Tool Kit Alternative
Hi
I've just purchased a used Porsche Boxster 986 - 2004 model from a garage. I want to replace both headlight bulbs with modern white leds. But unfortunately, my car didn't come with the Porsche tool kit to remove the headlights. And I've only found some listings on eBay for the official Porsche tool kit that's out of my price range. I'd like to know where I can get a cheaper alternative tool to release the headlights. I've already tried 5mm sockets, but they won't fit though the plastic hole that the screw is located in. So, I'm snookered at the moment. Does anyone know I can get a cheaper removal tool please |

Those are the dim for the porsche tool. Your local Car Dismantler occasionally hides a lot of surprises, check if they have a 986/996 in their inventory, never know!
[Metric/millimetres] 200mm long tool although I doubt you need much more than 80~100mm http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1588969050.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1588969061.jpg |
And the tool w/ handle itself. Apologies for the lack of passion for photography, promise to fix that problem one day lol
Good luck with the headlights, and finding or making a tool that fits http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1588969984.jpg |

Not entirely convinced you can buy that tool individually, although quite a few tool'kit' are available that included the tool you are after. example:
Porsche 986 Boxster Tool Kit, 7 Pieces + Gloves & Vinyl Bag - Los Angeles Dismantler - Used Porsche Parts for 911 Boxster Cayman Turbo Have you called your local Porsche Service Manager and ask him/her if he can spare you one? I'm sure they have tons of those around their shop. Politely asked yadayada, try? Your local Porsche independent is also a good place to check (independent = unofficial mechanic specializing in Pcar) |

5 mm nut driver. Available at any hardware store. My headlight tool cracked at one of the flanges, and needed be replaced. Works well.

Also, Suncoast Porsche has the original tool for like fifteen bucks...
