Magneti Marelli Headlight Assembly
Anybody out there try this brand on their car or have experience with them? They are really aggressively priced on Amazon in comparison to the Bosch OEM set and I was thinking of using them to de-amber the front of my car. Just didn't want to end up with junk.
Thanks

Pretty sure they make the actual Porsche Lits.

If I recall, they make both Litronics and halogen headlights.
I have a set of those and the Bosch headlights and the only difference that I can see is an extra silver reflector in the bottom of the main headlight under the clear cylinder portion.

Magneti Marelli makes a large number of OE lighting units under their AL-Automotive Lighting brand (which is a joint venture with Bosch).

I put a set of them on mine and I see no difference in quality. I think they are perfect replacement headlamps

Yes, they're all the same. Bosch and Magneti Marelli created a headlight division called Automotive Lighting through a joint venture in 1999. Porsche utilizes Magneti Marelli for various electrical components in their cars.

Yes, they can come off, they are siliconed to the headlights by the previous owner. I'm willing to sell them without the covers but the buyer will need to clean the silicone residuals yourself. $650 with covers and $500 without, both are shipped prices within the Conti US.
