So a nice lady backed into the front of my car this summer and dented the drivers quarter panel and in doing so broke the mounting tabs for the headlight on that side. Her insurance handled the repair at the Porsche approved body shop (which did a great job) so that's a good thing. But my question is this : are boxter headlights exactly the same as 996 mk1 headlights? I want to get a new passenger side light to match the new drivers side.

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.

Don't all MkI Boxsters have the amber strip? Only the 99 996 has that.

No. Some had amber turn signals, some had clear (around 2000?) and some had Litronics (optional starting in 1999). The Mk1 996 and all Boxster 986 headlights are interchangeable.
Interchangeable and for some reason less costly! Hmmmmmm
