Got clipped in a parking lot yesterday
 

Can someone let me know if the small damaged section can be replaced alone, or does the whole headlight assembly need to be replaced?

Pretty sure the corner piece is separate but make 'em pay for a whole headlight :D

The corner lens is a separate piece.

Thanks! Is this something a body shop should do, or is it pretty straightforward to replace?

It just snaps on. Takes about 30 seconds to slide the headlight out and replace. ;)

I found this youtube showing the removal of the whole headlight assembly, which is pretty cool!

But I am still unclear about how to replace the corner section. Once the assembly is out, does that piece just unclip?

Yes, it just has 3 small clips.

Thanks again! I appreciate the help.

That looks to be the corner unit that has a hole for the headlight washer. Same process but different part.

This one, right?

The youtube I found earlier might have mentioned this, but I have no audio at work.. What size ratchet is used to loosen the headlight assembly?

5mm i think.

That is the correct part.

That blows!!!

Suncoast has them a bit cheaper:

Finnegan, I have set of those corners. When I bought a used set of headlights(Litronics) for my car it came with those corners, but my car was without washers. I ended up buying new set. I think I broke one of 3 tabs on one side, but don't remember which one. Let me know if you are interested.

Hi Armen,

Thank you, yes, I am interested! I need the driver's side. Could you check to see if that is the side with the broken clip?

Thanks for the Suncoast link, Tony!

You are in Oregon, contact Sunset Porsche, they have lower prices most of the time.

Finn, PM sent to you with some photos.
