Post Also new to Porsche -- Headlight continues to blow; directional signal not functional

Greetings,

I just purchased my first 2001 Porsche Boxster S last month. The car is a joy to drive, however the passenger side headlight has blown twice; and the directional signal on the same side has also blown.

The headlight was replaced and it was functional for about 5 hours of drive-time. I replaced the directional signal (with two separate bulbs) and I have not observed it function since I purchased the vehicle.

I used a small amount of bulb grease when replacing the bulbs, and validated that the bulbs matched the driver side as well. I checked the fuses and they are good.

Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this?

I am in Charlotte, NC and looking for assistance.

Please advise,



Thomas

I couldn't stand it anymore. The wheels are impossible to clean and keep clean. even after massive intensive scrubbing there was grime. So I painted them. Going to send them off to be powdered eventually but for now this will do.









And last but not least:


I'm waiting to put the Porsche center caps back on, gonna color in the flag red like it should be and coat it yellow so it will look like gold like the other Porsche Badges.
