1997 Boxter Headlights

I second the motion of keep it stock. I like the big round headlights, it gives it that retro vibe and it's one of the things that attracted me to the car in the first place. I hear a lot of people rag on the amber lenses but I never go that, I think they look fine just the way they are.

You've got the typical halogen burn cars with DRLs generally get...mine included.

If you can source a replacement halogen, it's the cheaper of your two proposed options. I've heard there are some sourced in Eastern Europe somewhere...someone can chime in.

I would watch ebay for litronics..they come up, but can be very pricey.

The other option is to open them up like I plan to, and update to bi-xenons. The Retrofit Source is very good from posts I've read, in fact I've got my kit assembled to purchase in my shopping cart. Probably not for the unskilled, but doable if you research. Lots of youtube vids on the process...search TTGator, he recently posted a DIY video. Many have done this with great results. Parts so far I have in my cart (the cheapest option, IMO)...under $400 total CAN$.

I would avoid the XtremeMotors lights...lots of poor ratings about quality, and the LEDs apparently fail regularly. There are some guys on here with them, however I've seen many posts where folks are warning against wasting your money on them.

Paging Particlewave in 3...2...1...

Just my 2 cents FWIW. Good luck!
