Re: Dreaded Headlight question!!!
Also, if you're in a bind where you just found out your headlight is out, and you need to get your low beam running again in a jiffy, but its on a night where shops aren't open, or are not within the next 100+ miles, here's a neat trick:
The High beam bulbs are exactly the same as the low beam, so you can switch the bulbs, and get your low beams going again, until you have time to pick up a new high beam.
Also, if you are like me, you can rotate your stock when 1 low beam burns out.
Replace both low beams with the current high beams, and then install new pair of bulbs into the high beam slots.
This saves you the expense, keeps a matched pair of bulbs providing light, and gets some use out of the seldom used high beams, instead of throwing out a perfectly good set of barely used bulbs.
I just had to replace the burnt out low beam on my Boxster yesterday, and it uses the same H7 bulbs that the Crossfire does, so that makes it simple for me to stock up on bulbs for both my car, and Bat's Roadster.
Oh, and the process for changing the bulbs on the Boxster would make you guys jealous. One piece of carpet to pull down. Pull off a rubber plug. Insert the socket tool into the slot. Turn the tool counter clockwise. Remove whole headlight assembly. Open flap. Remove connector. Remove bulb. 5 minutes, tops. No worrying about dropping things, nor having to get dental mirrors.
