Default front left corner got back in to

Well someone in the Lowes parking lot decided to hit the front left of my 01 Turbo. I was parked out in no where with no one around, come out and find the damage. I am looking for a place to pick up the front bi-xenon headlamps. The insurance will pick up the damaged left unit but my car has 79K miles and yellowing of the headlamp lenses. So I will need to replace the the passenger as well. If anyone can point in the direction to pick up some used ones I will appreciate it.

Thanks
Lane

beyond the usual online auctions.. the only place i know of that sells used porsche parts with quantity and regularity is "la dismantlers" in CA. those are pricey, and the place isn't cheap either. but they might have some much less than new, and they won't overstate their condition.

Check excellence magazine or panorama they have dismantlers and private party sales may help.

File a report with the PD and see if any video from Lowes is available.
If available, then request the officer that took your report to get the video for review.

My parents had this happen to their MB at a bank parking lot. It is a long process, about 3 months so far. Still waiting for the PD to hear if they got the culprit(s).

Check out the possibility of refinishing the glass in the other headlight. I understand there are polishes that will polish out the yellowing.
