WTB: Halogen Headlights - slightly burnt lenses ok
 
I am looking to purchase standard 986/996 halogen headlight assemblies, both right and left ones but willing to buy individually too. Don't need Litronics. I don't mind if the lenses have slight burn marks. I would like to avoid headlights that have the orange turn signals though.

If you can't find a set w/o the orange turn signals, I have a set with the orange turn signals, shipping + offer. If interested, pictures to follow.

Hi, have a set. Will let them go for $340 Each shipped to your location as long as it's in contiguous 48. Will get pictures shortly.

Thank you,
David

So, $680 for the pair? :D

Get them brand new for $699: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-Boxster-986-1999-2004-Headlights-Front-Lamps-PAIR-LH-RH-OEM/292629898323?

Yes, $680 for the pair. The new ones on eBay are 699 + 90 shipping, and they don't come with the clear corner piece as mine do. The clear corners are typically $30 (from Latvia) - $112.00 for the set on eBay as well. Other clear turn signal headlights on eBay range from $334-475 each, some with shipping some additional shipping. My price is very reasonable for what you're getting. I always compare my prices to eBay/986Forum/Renntech/Facebook to ensure I am selling ng at a fair price.

Thank you,
David

I noticed you've been trying to sell them for a while. You might consider lowering your expectatations if you want them to sell faster, but good luck. :)

They can actually be found new for $690 shipped if you know where to look. ;)
Personally, I've never paid more than $400 for a used set with corner trims...nor would I.

I paid $699, shipped to my door, for brand new ones.
Honestly, to me, those should be $75/ea, used, all day long.
But I guess what something is worth is determined by what someone is willing to pay, yeah?
But you'll never catch me paying more than about 35% of new, for a used part.

I agree with you guys. I am looking to spend less than $400, and hopefully lower if they have slightly burnt lenses.
For around $700, I would just go with new ones.
If anyone has any leads, please let me know. Thanks for the responses so far!

I'll let mine go for $100 + shipping!

Thank you all for the positive advice. I am just starting with a couple parts cars and basing pricing off of what I find online. It looks like I need to review my pricing. Again, thank you for the advice and hopefully I can help you all in the future with part needs.
Thank you,
David

Still on the hunt. Let me know if anyone wants to sell their old halogen headlights!

Hi, let's try again. Sell for $85 each shipped to you. I know I have the passenger side, believe the driver side is in my other storage location, but need to confirm. Let me know if you have an interest.

Thank you,
David

Yes, I’m interested at that price! Once you confirm you have the other one, please PM me. Thanks
