Looking for OEM Porsche Boxster Headlights (L+R) fitting the '99 model. Thanks

Which ones? Litronics? Do you have older ones that can be restored. I expect they will be expensive…I always restored mine

I thought about that too, but it might not work. A previous owner installed some sort of strip lights curled inside the headlights and I suspect he did this by removing the front cover glass and then gluing it back on so it seems unlikely that it can be removed again without breaking something. Very frustrating.

Post a pic. I can tell if it can be fixed.

See pictures. Not sure why he had to disfigure the car like that. I think he opened them from the front to put this stuff inside and then glued them back together...

Those LED strips are held on by double sided tape. Looks like they are stuck to the inner bexel. It's hard plastic. He added a cheap projector, might have ruined the bowl doing it. This isn't hard to fix if you are a little handy. You can make a cardboard box oven with a box and a heat gun. Depending on how he resealed them. Those are worth fixing. If yo think you can do it, he didn't cut up the wires, I have all the parts to make them back to stock, I sell what you need and won't hold you up.. First post a pic of the back open showing the wiring. Also do they work now?

I was going to LED retrofit these but I could replace the one burnt inner lens and refinish the outer lens and 2K clearcoat.
