Would this fix be acceptable to you?
Update, need light replacement advise. They will buy a set or single but want to see any aftermarket? Needs to be the Litronic Xeon.
I got my car back, finally. A month later. New headlight driver's side, old light passenger. The passenger side used to actually look better than the driver's! I have sent an email stating I will be needing both replace, because both matched before she backed into me. They did the pro sand & refinish thing, but no way. New is $2800 I was told. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1379680532.jpg http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps63da254e.jpg |
That light looks good to me. What's the problem?

I see now. Yeah I would see if they would fix this.

I have been seeing Bosch and Hella Litronics on Amazon for ~$750 a light, without corner pieces.
Here is the Bosch: Amazon.com: Bosch 302473374 Headlight Assembly: Automotive Here is the Hella: HELLA 010054041 Porsche 911/Boxster Passenger Side Headlight Assembly : Amazon.com : Automotive These seem like a pretty good deal compared to what they seem to run new from other places. Is there a catch to these somewhere? I was looking to buy these but I found a pair of OEM Litronics for $999 so I got those instead, including corner pieces. Steve |
So are you wanting the other light replaced simply because one is more clear than the other?
|
Don't forget it looks stupid at night.
|
I'd give it a real good cleaning / polishing, and see if that would take care of it -- look for headlight cleaning kits, it'll take some time, but I bet you can get it back in shape...

I guess my issue is that they matched before. Now it's like the stuff my dogs leave on my lawn. |
I think you guys are missing the point. His headlights matched before someone backed into him. Why should he have to deal with his car looking goofy because the headlights don't match??? He shouldn't have to waste his time and money purchasing products and buffing out the existing headlight either. He did not cause the problem. It should be made to look as good or better than it did before the incident.
My opinion......That is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! |

This is good to know. If I ever have front end damage, I'll make sure i take a hammer to the other headlight before anyone takes a look at it... OR have the lady back into it again to make sure BOTH headlights are busted :)

Edit: Just make sure the haze is on the outside. If it seems to be on the inside then we cant really do anything about that. |
Unfortunately, the insurance company won't do anything about that.
I would buy this set, and then sell your existing set. You can buy these, then sell yours individually(ds, ps) and maybe even make a profit. ;) http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-parts-sale-wanted/48484-fs-litronic-headlights.html |
The passenger just need to be sanded and polished. That's a simple task.
Is that it? |
I be worried that they would want to dull the new one to match the old one!
|
You'd be surprised how the Meguire's headlight restoration kit works on cloudy yellow lamp housings... makes them look brand new. Give it a try before you spend big money on a replacement unit.
