02 vs 03 Boxster S Clear head lamps.

Not that I know of.

The owner says the Boxster S is standard.

Litronics I assume, are an option?

I have had Three types of headlights:

Halogen (with amber on most pre-2003 Boxsters and pre-2001 911's). $100 U.S. used. No difference in functionality between clear and amber headlight assemblies.

Halogen (clear, 2003-2004 Boxsters) $400-$600 U.S. used.
Ebay, swapped out the ambers right away and sold the clears for nearly what I paid six months later.

Litronics aka HID (clear no amber) approx. $1100-1200 U.S.
group buy from Brandywine in Pennsylvania.

Porsche introduced clear headlamps and clear/red taillights in the 2002 Boxster S about halfway through the production run. Mine is from the first half of the 2002 year so I have the old style lights. This one is from the latter run so it has the updated lights.

You need to determine if they are litronics, which are clear.

If they are halogen then someone changed from amber to clear. You said there had been 3 owners.

I have a 1997 Box with clears from a 1999 996. Clear taillights and side markers. 3 spoke steering wheel from a 2000 S. And other stuff that did not originally come with the car when it was new.

It is common for owners to change things and the car you are looking at has had 2 prior owners.
