Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Random question, maybe a dumb one, but it's been buggin' me every time I get out the spare tire tool kit (like I did this weekend, needing to take the wheels off). What's this used for?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

We have a consensus. Thanks guys.

8mm deep socket works also - you pull carpet aside in frunk, remove a small rubber plug and spin a nut 6 inches in the hole about 90 degrees, the entire headlight assembly pops loose. be good to your paint when reinstalling it.

Oh thank god the 8mm socket works. My current boxster didn't come with the little tool. I didn't want to have to buy some silly tool to install my headlights.

POST 7Original post

You also use this tool to align your light pattern for your headlights. If you ever pulled out your headlight you will see the hex pattern on the side of it. Those are the points where you adjust your low beam and fog light. I recall it being a 5MM though.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
