Congrats on the new Boxster!!
I don't have answers to your two questions, but I will give you a tip on the Xenon headlights.
Keep the Boxster locked at ALL times, no matter how quick you're running into a place. The headlights can be popped out in about 1-2 minutes by someone who knows what they're doing and the Xenons go for a pretty penny on the black market. The quick release is wonderful for maintenance, but gives thieves an easy score if the hood isn't locked.
Enjoy!!
