996-652-101-10-A05 Socket - $8.05
996-652-102-10 Lighted retaining ring - $4.30

Takes all of 10 min to upgrade it and definitely worth it. Link to how to from PPBB.com:

Somebody on he thread mentioned that 2002 Boxsters and newer already have the new lighter. Is that true? Mine is a 2002 S. Does that mean that I already have the deeper lighter??

If not, this mod + the cigarette mount kit from Treonauts together is still way cheaper than proclipusa.
