If they are yellow and hazy go for them anyways and you can polish it out. My old 996 Turbo had terrible looking lights and had them polished for $100 and looked like new!

I've polished 996 headlights for another car and they ended up looking great. My cup has no headlights - it has blanks. I need the headlights and mounting brackets too.

Thanks,


Bob

Yeah we converted a number of these. Really not hard as long as the wiring is STILL THERE. In a couple cases the wiring was cut,

When you say blanks do you mean a panel with a decal on it? If you find some hazy ones best of wet sanding them and then refinishing with a 2K clear coat. That way the finish will last.

Only one lense is still available through Porsche. The other side is NLA. That’s for the 996.2. The 996.1 are still available.
