post some pics if you can.
if the inner lens is cracked, you could open up 2 sets and swap.
if the outer "lens" is cracked, you would need to replace that whole piece with another donor. if you're talking about painting the silver that is on the inside of the outer cliear plastic piece, you're going to have to strip it off somehow first (obviously) since painting black over that would not show.
i managed to bake some clear lights to replace burnt inner lenses. not too difficult. you'll need to scrape out all of the sealant and replace with new permatex. the sealant they used never gets soft enough to reuse.

Do you know how to replace just the lens?

I have one Litronic headlight from my old 01 Boxster which I kept for parts. I now have an 05 Boxster S and have no use for it. I do not remember which side (dirver or passenger) it is.

Let me know which side you need and I'll check when I come home this weekend.

BTW, I sent you a PM.
