What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Today I replaced the lighted mirror unit in the driver's side sun visor. I was surprised that the new unit came with light bulbs but not the actual mirror/light lenses part which gets reused from the old unit. Thanks to others posts here, it was an easy and straightforward job. The hardest part was getting the center tab to release from the old mirror/lens part. I soldered the wires and used heat shrink tubing. Only burned one finger with soldering iron, didn't burn any visor parts with the soldering iron or the heat gun!

When (if?) the passenger side mirror cover fails, I think I may try buying the unlit unit and just swapping the cover.

Yeah, it's a lot cheaper to swap over just the covers. Less likely to burn fingers too! (ask me how I know... Bonus is that you end up with an extra mirror which can be used for shaving on camping trips, putting in contact lenses, etc.

+1 for heat shrink tubing!
