I'd get a jumper wire and test the leads going into the light switch.

For instructions on removing the switch, look at page 103 of this PDF: http://www.cannell.co.uk/Boxster_Manuals/986%20Group%200a%20Diagnosis%20To%2045.pdf

Wiring info is available in these PDFs:

Could you just not hotwire the lights directly to the battery to test lights?

$92.02 paid to Sunset for a new headlight switch shipped and my Litronics work again!

The new part isn't even the same color if that matters and Sunset says they ship them out non-stop. Another faulty Porsche part.
