Default blemished/ burnt head lamps repair

Wow, its been a long time. Glad to see the board is still alive and well. Hope everyone is doing as well.

My headlights have the burn marks on the in side on the lenses.

I actually have the parts to make the repair. But this is one repair I am a little scared to do.

I understand you can heat the units in the oven and the top cover will come off with some work. I can just see this not going well for me.

Is there anyone that repairs the units?

Also I hardly drive the car anymore. Still looking to sell at 13000.

99 aero/ 160,000mi 6 speed. LNE bearing

Thanks
Kyle

Can't help you with the headlight issue, but nice to see you again Shark Attack. Why aren't you driving your 911 Aero ?

I tried the repair but cracked outer lense during disassembly and finding new lenses to replace burnt ones was a pain, so I kept eye out for complete used set remembering the Boxster units are the same found a set for $250 out with the old in with the new, Done.
