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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok so the car I have bought, or arranged to see, and paid a deposit for, does not have Xenon lights. Is this a really bad thing? What colour are standard lights on a 981 and can the bulbs be changed for brighter whiter ones?

POST 2Original post

all 981s have xenons as standard, its the bi-xenons that are not.

POST 3Original post

The non 'S' models have halogen headlights, the S have bi-xenon. Option is PDLS which includes cornering lights / headlight cleaning. If you have standard halogen you can get some Xenon look whiter bulbs as with any halogen bulb.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Cay, that' makes things seem better so I will look into that. It should let me proceed tomorrow as planned. I will want to change the steering wheel however to an upgraded sports one. Do you know of anyone who has done that? Mine has the basic standard one....

POST 5Original post

My "standard" Boxster S lights are certainly much better then the lights on my previous car.
