Porsche H4 vs. Bosch H4
 
I picked up a pair of Original Porsche H4s Part #911 631 113 02.
When I look them up on our host site they come back as a special order and priced at about $750 ea. But they offer the Bosch alternative for about $250ea. is there a difference?

Looks like a $500 difference to me ;)

I don't know specific difference, but Porsche doesn't make headlights, they make cars, and would likely have bought units from Bosch, Hella or Siemans to begin with.

I'm asking in case I sell them, are they worth a premium?

They should be the exact same part, with a Porsche label instead of a Bosch label. This is the difference between "OEM" and "Genuine Porsche."

If they are new they might be worth a premium to someone doing a restoration. I doubt anyone on Pelican would pay more for them.

You can get a set of chrome ring Bosch Euro H4s for $350 shipped on eBay.

But it'd be a pretty hard-core member of the ear-bud crowd who'd pay a penny more if you can't see the part # (or otherwise tell) from the outside of the car when fitted, no?

And they're not original fitment to any US car - so they'd have to have a RoW car as well.

+1 Seems unlikely - but stranger things have happened, I guess.. :)
