These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

32 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This headlight cover fits all 2002-2004 Porsche 911s (996 mk2) and will give your car a classic round Porsche headlight look. Unlike other fiberglass versions on the market, these covers are made of flexible polyurethane (the same material as car bumpers) and are impact and temperature resistant. The covers were designed from scratch by 3d scanning the headlight surface and made to fit snugly on the existing lens with no modifications! The covers come as unpainted black polyurethane, prepped for painting, and can be adhered with 3m double sided tape or silicon adhesive. Adding a headlight protective film (e.g., Xpel) over the headlight before adhering the covers to ensure easy removal. Click HERE to get yours today!

How easy is it to remove the chrome washer caps. And I guess that means I should never press the headlight washer button again.

Description of the New MK1 Covers: (We will have them in stock soon) These headlight covers fit all 1999-2001 Porsche 911 (996 Mk1) models (excluding Turbo) and 1996-2004 Porsche Boxster (986) models. The covers will convert your car's headlights to a classic round Porsche headlight look and are made of high quality polyurethane (the same material as car bumpers) that is impact and temperature resistant. This all-original design was created working with an automotive industry 3D designer referencing a 3D scan of the original headlight to ensure optimal fitment. There is no comparison with cheap, fiberglass covers on the market. The covers come as unpainted black polyurethane, prepped for painting, and can be adhered with 3m double sided tape or silicon adhesive. It is recommended to put a headlight protective film (e.g., Xpel) over the headlights before adhering the covers to ensure easy removal with minimal tape/glue residue. Please note the covers will cover over the fog lights, however the turn signals remain visible through the oval cutout. The turn signal cutout can be covered over with optional turn signal cutout plug (sold separately). For cars with headlight washer nozzles in the corners, the washers will need to be popped out and removed before installation and the covers will cover over the hole completely.

For the first generation headlight cover would someone please mind clarifying . . . For this upgrade, are the washers that “need to be popped out” the black nozzles as shown below; Or does the headlight need to be removed and the entire triangle piece from the washing assembly the piece that needs to be removed (as seen in the photo below); I am sure from Dmitry’s description only the black nozzles need to be removed leaving the headlight to look like the photo below . . . I just want to be sure. . . that portion of the headlight where the nozzles pop into does seem to be raised and may interfere with the headlight cover. Thanks in advance for the clarification.

POST 28 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

@RNajarian - if you want to PM me your email, I can forward your inquiry directly to our contact that makes them. Let me know, happy to help out. -Dmitry

POST 29Original post

Porsche uses BASF Glasurit paint. If you have a metallic color, nothing else will match exactly. No "blending" required. I found the paint at my local English Color and Supply store. I painted the headlight rim with Rustoleum Charcoal Gray, then applied two-part clear coat to the entire piece.

POST 31Original post

I am having trouble matching the color. I will probably go to a Professional since my color is unusual

POST 32Original post

I think black is the best for the headlights covers. The lines blend in better.
