LOL opinions are like, you know, everybody has one. 😉

Same to you

He did specifically ask for opinions. No need to get defensive about your purchase.

Never had these aftermarket lights on a boxster but I have had aftermarket led on other vehicles and I will not do this ever again. Aside from the fact that I think they make it look like you are trying too hard, they are poor quality and will burn out.

Just look around when driving and you will see lots of cars/trucks with these lights that have sections of leds burned out or flickering, etc. Then you get a replace the entire pair and waste you money again compared to a $2 light bulb.

I'm not, I've just held them in my hand and used them and they are surprisingly well put together. They made break tomorrow but IMO don't look cheap.

IMHO, MT, if you're going to run that first set... you should update the headlights with the same style 718 vis-a-vis. Those lights... the sidemarkers... the third brake light... license plate bulbs... would tie everything toether.

I like the look... Outlaw.

Hold onto the stock parts, though.

Cheers!

Im afraid of the headlights. Too many people say they break quickly. Too pricey for that.
