Calypso Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I’m just going to order some of these and it got me thinking. Did you do anything about changing the normal indicator bulb on the main light cluster to led? I think it let’s down the whole effect if the side indicators are changed out.

T24RES Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I tried some, but they were poor visually compared to the OE halogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calypso Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Ok, thanks folks. I thought that someone would have posted if there were some that worked well. I guess one of the main problems is that it could easily trigger a warning for a blown bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1HJK Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I still need to order these + GTS diffuser. Does anyone have the part no. for the diffuser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 There are 4 different part numbers - with park assist/without park assist and then in primmer or natural black plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelin Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I've done the side repeaters and rear lamps. They do set the car off. Next on my list is the diffuser but unsure if I need to change the part around the PSE??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centre plastic part above the exhaust can be used with the GTS diffuser but as others have said it can be a pita to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robporsche Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 spoke to porsche who quoted me £199 + vat for the rear diffusers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpn Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I've taken both the front and rear bumpers off not to replaced the diffuser but adding some mesh in the rear and cleaning out the condensers. Just follow Toeside @Toeside step-by-step photo instruction and you can't go wrong. As said before, take your time and don't attempt it in short notice. This is what I've done. Rear bumper off. Before And after While the bumper is off I gave the exhaust tips a good clean and polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpn Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I also changed the side repeater bulb with a 'clear' but 'blink orange' bulb. From this to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 To be fair the rear diffuser info started with @topradio I just followed on and added some pics and stuff. Replaced both condensers on the 981 recently @ 3.5 years and looking at your nearside condenser I think you have a small leak (by the beach leaf) 😣That oily deposit ....... @T24RES is the guru on parts info and treating his car too well Good to see you are adopting a hands on pragmatic approach to Boxster ownership OPC's would have you believe 'they' are untouchable .........😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1HJK Posted January 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Collected my parts this morning. Just need to fit them now. Still undecided about taking the whole bumper off to fit. I’ve not yet looked at the clips, that will probably be the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1HJK Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 I managed to get it fitted but think I’ve aged about 5 years! Those clips around the centre piece are very hard to remove but even harder to clip back in. I end up taking the bumper off which is definitely the correct approach. I started at 11am and got finished around 3.30ish. If I was to do it again I would have got up and out the door for 8am. If you are thinking about GTS lights, it’s probably best getting them and doing it all at once. I’m still undecided about them, my car is dark blue and the red lights and brake calipers work well in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1HJK Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 I’ll get some pictures up tomorrow. It’s the best mod for the 981 Boxster. I was really careful with the rear lights so they took a little longer, plus I had a few coffee breaks just to collect my thoughts haha. The bumper off is easy. The diffuser has a front and back piece, you need to remove the back piece first, then you can remove the side pieces and fit the new ones. All the other clips are fine, it’s just the 3 on each side round the exhaust exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
