how about using black silicone which RWB kit uses? I was watching the youtube clips and Nakai (owner and installer) uses black silicone to run between the bodykit seams after the final installation.

Silicone hardens but you can break it off as needed and reapply again and again.
Just an idea.

They do nothing to keep water out of the headlights. They do serve to keep some water/slush from bring driven up under the headlight and onto the headlight retaining mechanism. I wouldn't sweat them a lot.. one of those "if you find'm cheap enough.." sort of things.

they do divert a massive amount of water from getting into the engine compartment

Fitting them is easy

Does anybody has a part number please?

Jimbabwe

try 95563111500 (driver side) and 95563111600 (passenger side). Those may have been superceded...

Ecstuning.com do a filter choosing your model car, look for the part in Lightning section and it will show u the ecs part no. And porsche part no.

The gasket prevents moisture from getting in and shorting your lamps. If not fixed, you will be replacing lamps very frequently.

Hey Guys,

I just ordered a new driver side headlight assembly for my car, got one by valeo which supplies oe parts to Porsche..anyways, does anyone know if I'll need to order a new gasket/seal for this headlight, or should it be included? I know the lights and ballast aren't included in the price

thanks

Hey Guys, my passenger headlight I notice doesnt sit 100% flush to the outer hole of the car..the headlight is a year or two old from the previous owner, I just installed a driver side headlight and it sits completely flush to the car, the other one has a very small gap between the rubber gasket and the edge..should I be concerned with this? again the headlight is pretty new and the rubber gasket is all intact. The car did have a minor accident on that side a few years ago so the indy I went to said there isnt much you can do..i'm thinking about sticking a little rubber pad or something underneath it so it props it up a tad..should I send a pic to get a better visual?

It should sit flush, obviously. Something to be concerned about? Well - that's up to you. If everything works correctly, then it would just be cosmetic. But, if you want it to look right, you'll need to find out why it's not sitting flush. Short of checking the fasteners that hold the tray in play, and inspecting the bottom of the headlight housing - there won't be much we can do from our end since nobody can get in there and look.

JRoz

Yea the Indy spent a good amount of time, they said the mounting bracket is fine. If I use my hands and grip it a little from underneath the light I can fit it flush, but when I let go it sags a tiny bit.. Maybe I can put some black insulation underneath the light to sort of prop it literally an 1/8th of an inch up and that can do it. I was just more concerned with if it was potentially bad for rain and water to get behind it.. If it's cosmetic I'm fine with it

wrinkledpants

If the mounting plate is solid, then I don't really see how it's possible to have the light not sit flush unless you broke one of the guide tabs on the housing. That rubber gasket is to seal the headlight to the body so you don't get tons of road grime and water getting behind there. But, it's not going to hurt anything if you do.

JRoz

Yea I don't get it .. Gonna try to put a thin strip of weather strip underneath and prop it a little.. The bottom of the headlight is exactly the same as the other one, no broken pieces.
