The interior light in my 2000 S has a broken retaining clip on it and it keeps dropping down. It is the early type so only rocks in the housing for off/doors/ and on positions. In trying to source a replacement I've notice that a new 'Porsche' part in about £50 and breakers only tend to sell the whole roof latch/alarm sensors and light assembly for about the same money. However on looking closely the light has Talbot/Peugeot/Citroen branding moulded into it and from my research look suspiciously like the on used on a Peugeot 205 from the late 80s. Can anyone confirm this as they are a lot cheaper from Peugeot and from breakers.

Early Boxster Interior Light - is it really from a Peugeot?

I agree, however as the currently fitted item fits both the aperture and the loom and is a perfect fit but for the broken plastic clip/tang I suspect it is the same part in which case it would be OEM. The PO seems to have been pretty fastidious about fitting Porsche parts according to the records that came with the vehicle. There are many parts common across various brands that come from the OEM specialists, its just a case of identifying them.
Anyone out there got an early Boxster they could have a look at the back of the interior light fitting?

It apparently was a Peugeot Citroen marked up part as an original, and I've found looking closely as I've done more work on the car that you'll find a few VAG markings on parts as well. These mostly seem to be in sub-assemblies that could well have been bought into the factory from component suppliers as complete parts so if you change the whole you don't pick up on these parts.
Any how I've envetually devided to go with retro fitting a post facelift interior light and latch assembly that I acquired from a breaker. Looks more like it should come from a higher end marque than the earlier unit.
