For Sale; Litronic Xenon Boxster Headlights

[wulfgang]

Can you post some pics of the scratches? I was interested before, and I still am, but not at $900. How much do you want for them?

Despite what some people pay for these, I just let a pristine pair go by on ebay for just $550, and they were local (yes, I'm stupid). Excellent condition 997 lights (which are all xenons) go for under $1k/pair all day on ebay, and so I refuse to jump on the bandwagon that keeps the prices of 986/996 litronics upwards of $1k. They are simply not worth that much, especially now that they are 10 years old.

I had hopes of getting something close to my $940 back but from your message and a couple of PM's it Looks like I am just out the $$$. I was watching ebay and never saw any HID lights for under $450. Wish I had purchased them on ebay and could have them involved. Live and learn.
I am going to attempt a removal of the lens and transfer parts. I ordered some silicone remover and IF that works I will be able to use the electronics and throw away the trash I purchased. Photos. attached

I'm trying to understand if all 986 litronics use a halogen bulb for the high beam. It seams that way if 997 lights are "all xenons". Would you also describe that as bi-xenon?

I came across a site that had notes about removing lenses. The method is to place the assemblies in and oven pre-heated to 200 degrees for 20 minutes and pry them apart. If not free then heat longer. I heated mine for 30 minutes and viola! the lens separated from the case, I spent many hours cleaning up the old silicone and now have one good set of headlights and a set with lousy lenses. I am pressing on with VISA to see if I can recover half of my $$ as I could have sold the original set for $450. I have the lenses if you are interested. I tried Miguiar's plastic cleaner and it worked on the minor scratches but the gouges are going to take some serious work. There is also an area that looks like a liquid splash that left an area that the Miguiar's did not touch. Maybe UV protection layer?
