For sale is a set of original all clear Porsche 996/986 headlights off a 2001 996 (made by BOSCH); all bulbs included. They have TechArt style headlight covers which are very expensive and difficult to find (just Google it). The covers were painted in original Porsche black and silicone to the headlights by the previous owner (see pictures below of these headlights on the previous owner’s black 996). All are in very good condition.

Still available, PM me your offer, thanks!

Honestly, your price is waaaay too high and those covers are ugly as hell.
The insides are also yellow and brown, like the bulbs got too hot.

If you take the covers off and the headlights look good underneath, I'll give you $400.

The yellow is very minor, some could be from the reflection of surrounding. I'm only looking to sell everything as a set. I'm not in a rush to sell them so will wait for the right buyer at the right price.

Bump.........

My offer of $400 still stands, but only if the lenses look good under the covers.
Or just keep holding your breath for another year :rolleyes:

Nobody likes those hideous covers.

Actually Somebody does too. If you buy them tonichristi, you could offer them to Nobody since you've clearly confirmed that Nobody likes them.

There could be an issue trying to separate them without damaging the covers though depending on where the adhesive was used, and how much of it. The fiberglass isn't very thick.

I think they look good when they match the body color. Wait, what were we discussing?

The previous owner used adhesive silicon and he stated the covers can be remove if needed. I'm not sure of the cover material but they do seem pretty strong.

Nope. The "sale" and complete lack of interest shows that no one wants the covers ;)

Only a tasteless "G-money" would want those. Lay off the weed, burnout. It's affecting your judgement.

No need to trash the thread if you are not interested, just move on...

Evo, if indeed "silicon" sealant that's a very easy removal mate. Heat them in the oven at 225 for 10~15min and pry gently. Doesn't budge? throw them in the oven for another 5min at a time. They'll eventually give up. If composite glue was used then you are screwed. Method works for 'silicon' base sealant only.

Not sure about chemical to use to clean silicon from the the surface (acetone?), regardless - if any damage occurs to the lens, you can easily wet sand those (polycarbonate) and polish them back to near factory looking quality. Been there done that 10 times now lol

Fahrenheit, 225 fahrenheit lol

Thank you for the tips mate! Good thing you pointed out it's in F and not C... :cheers:

Typical of this guy. Told me off one day for expressing my opinion, but apparently it's okay for him to express his. Just ignore him, it's not worth the effort.

cook them at 225C and watch them melt
Best thing for them

Cheers........... :cheers:

There is even a forum tool to help with that...

I've removed 2 sets of these covers, one just a couple of weeks ago.

Use a strong denim thread or string to "floss it off" and mineral spirits to clean up silicone. Works like a charm ;)

Thanks for the additional tips! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, may try to list them on eBay and see if they sell (not in a hurry to get rid of them), otherwise I'll remove the covers and clean them up when I'm really bore. :cheers:

I'm sure you'd find a buyer on ebay ;)

GLWS!

Thanks!........:cheers:
