Curious how long is the estimate for you to receive?

Recruiter_Bruno

Tracking shows they will arrive tomorrow.
Pretty quick in my opinion.

I can’t wait to hear about the quality….. I forget are they supposed to be OEM or completely third party?

Recruiter_Bruno

Third party. Hopefully they will have the quality of OEM though...
Sounds like these headlights are a bitch to open though.
Will do the oven bake thing AND heat gun and see how it goes.
I've done Audi headlights often and they crack open easily but the material they use to seal is much more flexible than what Porsche uses...

So they arrived today (not last week).
Pretty sure its because of all the floods in BC as that is where it landed from China.

I'm not going to bother posting pictures but I can say that they look 100% OEM.
Compared them side by side with originals and they are duplicates.
Is the material the same quality? This I don't know.
But visually I am impressed.
And the tabs seem to be there just like the factory ones.

No silicone or any kind of adhesive was included so I need to figure out what is best to use when I am ready to install them.
Any thoughts?

Have only done the job on Volvos. Never used this company but worth a look https://www.diodedynamics.com/blog/p...eal_headlights

I've used this stuff from Morimoto before and its the same stuff OEMs use for sealing headlights. I'm sure you can find other stuff that's not name brand for cheaper but I'd caution from using silicone based sealants are they're extremely difficult to open up again should you need to do another repair or reseat the lens.

So, how much did you paid for both lenses including shipping?

Arrived pretty quickly overall.

@Recruiter_Bruno hey have you installed? How is it holding up?

@Recruiter_Bruno I used the following when I re-sealed my headlights - works very well:

would be curious to see the part next to oem, not sure why you would not want to share an image? unless they are not correct

misterdega

These are my current headlights. My feeling is that these can't be buffed out =(

That almost looks more like crazing than scratches. You'd be surprised what the Sylvania headlight restoration kit will do though if you wanted to try that first.
