are you referring to install or best replacement bulb?

step by step install instructions are in your owners manual. it's a little tricky the first time doing the r+r, easy the second. just dont drop the headlight assembly, they probably cost about a boxster each..

shouldn't take a first timer more than 20 min. one tricky part is the clip that holds the bulb assembly in place.. you have to depress and move to the side to open. feel free to pm me with any questions.

Recognize that if you ever want to use your fog lights in (gasp!) Real Fog, a yellow color helps you see better. So, you can change your lights for show, but that will work against you if you ever wanted them for genuine functionality.

i know yellow is more effective.. fog in my area is usually not that bad. i'd rather crash than have ugly yellow fog lights anyway. hehehe

the change is small anyway. they go from yellowish off white to more of an off white. not drastic. doubt the oem would be more effective in the fog.
