i got all excited when I hit the website and it said "relensing for $100"

I thought maybe I coudl ship them my lights and they coudl swap out just the lens portion for $100...

what a cheap easy way to get rid of the amber in my lights..

then I realized that they simply have named this "cleaning" service "relensing".

you don't ge ta new lense..they just clean it.

on that topic - is it possible to get a new "lens" for a 986 headlight and separate the light and then put on the new lens and reseal it... sounds to me like it would be more hassle / expense than just finding/buying newer lights..unless Porsche sold the replacement lenses dirt cheap... wait..Porsche sell a replacement part cheap. HA! HA! HA!

i'll just keep looking for newer lights...
