Suggestion

i think that will only replace the corner reflector on the headlight, plus it doesn't look like you have headlight washers anyway..

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here is the link to the eBay Clear Headlight Trims http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...#ht_500wt_1182 Here are my headlights, what can I do with the amber bottoms? I think I can de-amber part of them. Is there a way to get my headlights clear?

POST 4Original post

This would be a great deal on ebay if it is truly the complete headlight assembly (which I doubt). Replacement lights are 500+ on Pelican & Suncoast.

POST 5Original post

$26.75ea on Pelican and this clown wants $90 for the pair plus shipping??

POST 6Original post

To my knowledge, you would have to replace them with clear headlight units

POST 7Original post

You can't really de-amber the the early 996 headlights. In the early headlights the amber is on the exterior lens. You might be able to do just the corners, but that would look kind of strange IMHO. On the headlights starting in 2000 the corners where not amber and the amber on the turn signal was internal to the light assembly. You can remove this internal lens (I did it a few weeks ago) to get rid of the amber.

POST 8Original post

for $30 I had mine tinted with a film.. not the best fix, but it looks better to me until I get the lights I want. :-)
