When the Boxster was new in 1996 there where a mandatory law that said that you had to use the headlights daytime in my country Sweden. I´ve never seen anything like the pictures above on any car using the correct bulbs.

I´ve heard that you can do damage to the reflectors using the wrong bulbs. There are other bulbs that are better if you want to improve the vision in the dark if using halogen lights. Car manufacturers often use the cheapest bulbs from Osram to mention one manufacture. There are better version also from Osram and Phillips to mention another one. I usually change bulbs in my cars to improved versions from those two manufactures to get better vision during the dark winter season in northern Europe. Never had any problems other that at some point the reflectors will will be affected by age when the cars become old enough. We are talking 15+ years of daily use all year around in all weathers leaving the cars outside at all times. On some cars you can change the reflectors separately. On some you can't. Something to think about for sure as the whole light assembly can be very expensive.

If using litrnonics. There are different manufactures of those bulbs too. I would not turn to Porsche dealers to buy new ones. They are much less expensive elsewhere.
