Doesn't really make sense. I can't believe there is an easy way to cash in on stolen 911 headlights. It's not like catalytic converters which are stolen for the precious metals content. Is there a thriving black market for used headlights? Causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage to get something they'd probably get few hundred for is very disturbing.
Apparently you hav never gotten anything stolen? Most thieves will cause thousands of dollars in collateral damage to make $10. They don�t care, and there isn�t any punishment for this anymore.
Well I guess if they weren�t 4 to 5 thousand dollars which is absurd to begin with, they wouldn�t be sought after. It�s really silly how much manufacturers are charging for plastic
My headlights were actually something I kinda worried about, not theft per se but a few years ago mine were yellowing and I wanted to look at other options with the hope of getting slightly better illumination out of them.
The results weren�t great at the time and replacement headlights on eBay were a rude awakening.
Also none of the current headlight refresh (lens replacement) guys did work on 996 lights at the time. I was surprised because there isn�t much of an alternative and the market is a decent size it would seem.
In the end I just sanded them and sealed them but I wasn�t totally happy with the result (and did nothing for the inside lens which was beginning to yellow in the center from the halogen bulb).
I just knew there was NFW I was paying $1000+ per side 😆
