I just purchased an early production 1999 996 C2 with the amber bottom halogen headlights that I�d like to replace. Will halogens from a 2003 Boxster work? I�m seeing them being sold as a pair for half the price of the 996 halogens. And yes I tried searching but didn�t see anything on this topic. Thanks

986 Boxster headlights and 996 MK1 headlights are exactly the same and swapable. I would look for a used set of Litronics. You can find them on ebay and upgrade your lighting. Makes a big difference at night and updates the look of the car also. Instagram Instagram
Can you just swap out both headlights and you're done, or is there more to the upgrade then that?

Yes, Plug and Play. The difference is if you put on the brights the Litronic projector doesn't move up to the high position unless you install the module. You only get the H7 halogen brights instead of getting the Xenon and H7 halogen with the module installed.
I ordered boxter lights for my 996, work like a charm.
