Before you settle with the insurance company make sure you have the car checked out carefully by a professional. I don't know how they could pry out the lights without bending some sheetmetal. I know you see scratches, but the metal also may not be straight. As you mentioned, the headlight mount may be broken too (which may require removing the fender to replace). What about the wiring harness, did they cut that?
Again, I'd check everything out carefully so that you make sure you're not shorted on what repairs are required.
Also, you said they stole the yellow egg yolk lights. I could have sworn you hard clear halogens in there though.... right? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge

I think everything in this post except for the insurance fraud is good advice.

That's brilliant, CJ, you are going to buy lights on eBay, that may have been stolen from another Porsche car owner.

Dude, I'd say get a quote for the regular set from your dealer, and get the insurance to pay you for it, then get a set of Litronics! win/win!
