Changed mine to larger Ring Automotive units, which go to half power automatically when you put on your headlights. (Also fitted a lower splitter and black mesh in the grills)

Here's mine... hard to capture how it really looks to the eye from the camera lens.. I'd say the picture isn't quite exactly how it looks in person, but here's a picture...

Do you have to cut the grills to fit Ring Automotive units?

Hello Gary,

First of all, congrats, the Ring Automotive units look great. My Boxster has the same grills on each side like yours. To fit the LED units, did you have to cut/alter the vertical supports of the grills? I'm debating between Ring Automotive (Vehicle Lighting, Bulbs, Lamps, Auto Electrical, Chargers, Battery Packs - Ring Automotive), Technolite from Pedro's Garage (TechnoLite LED DRL), and a cheaper option from eBay that has same dimensions as Ring Automotive, DRL W13 LED White 2X Slim Daytime Running Lights Fog HID Head SMD Power Xenon A | eBay. Thank you.

Really looks good. Can you provide some info about how they wire in? And the other front end mods are worth hearing about too.

I followed the guide Pacemaker posted here earlier in the thread;

the method works well,

takes some minor thought but all the info is there.

all I need to do now is wire up the lights to the fuse board. all wires are fed there ready. just need some of those fuse board jumper things.
