Im currently on the market for my first 987, and I'm currently looking at 987.1's but in going thru ads some are not as in-depth as others, and a big NEED in this car is the bi-xenon headlights. Is there a telltale sign that gives away the difference of one or the other. I thought it was the headlight washers being there or not, but not sure if thats fool-proof or not? Any help is appreciated, thank you.

You are correct... washers are the true indicator of it has factory bi-Xenia’s.

You could also check what options the car was equipped with from the factory by running a search on the VIN at VIN Analytics.

Okay - I will check that out, I've never used that specific one, but a lot of them don't really give specific information to the exact VIN but just list available options, and not necessarily options that actual VIN car has.

I say change the headlights and tail lights. Nobody can tell what year is my car now. Makes an older car look modern.

I like the tails, headlights just arent my style but don't look bad !!

I can't imagine what sensor is throwing that off. I used Hikari H7 LED bulbs. Super clear and bright and no code. 9600lm 6k Cool White.
Let us know if the bulbs help if you swap them.

Got a link for the headlights? Thanks.

Was it on 987.2 or .1? Any long-term effect from temperature inside a sealed unit?

981 Boxster S has them standard. No washers.
