Can You Install Clear Late Model headlights In A 1997 Boxster?

If you don't want the leveling feature, I would go with the GT Projector Headlight Retrofit Kit.

I thought about this...until I got to read the 24-page installation guide

I'll just leave this here as food for thought...

Edit to add: post 104 is how my original amber halogen headlights now look with GT Projectors and de-ambered. Total cost with stuff I had to buy (which you may have, i.e. a Dremel) was well under $600 total. Probably closer to $500. Just takes a few days off and on if you move slow like me.

I looked at page 24. What is it on that page that makes you not want them?

Not page 24 itself, it's the whole guide which is scary...to me at least

Send them to Particlewave(Charles). I did and couldn't be happier. I was able to find a set of new clear halogens, get the HID projectors, send it all to Charles for installation and then ship the final product to me all for about the price of used litronics. The trouble with used Litronics is finding a set where the lens are not yellowed or cloudy. Mine are crystal clear since they are new. Of course if you do find a cloudy set, Charles can help with that too.

Yes, those will work. My understanding is that Automotive Lighting was the OEM vendor. I bought Bosch lights from here, but they were $400 per side when I bought them.

I looked at buying used but the weathered lens that was typical of used pushed me to spend the extra for new. Still happy with that descision. You can always try to sell your current lights to lower the net cost.

I had Charles do mine too. I visited him in person when he did mine, he didn't seem too enthused to do more, but make it worth his time and he might do it.

Hahaha, so true!

I'm definitely burnt out, but I just keep doing them.
