993 Headlamp Lenses

[truckpdt]

The headlamps on my 993 are looking a little dark these days. I've been told it's possible to replace the individual lenses and not the entire lamp.

Has anybody done this and know where I can obtain them?


Many thanks.

Design911.com do them as do most of the major Porsche parts specialists.
Looking on the abOve they work out just under 100 notes per side.

Easy to fit, just requires the tabs on the old ones being released(currently glued).

On p-car.com is a diy that shows how to clean the headlight lenses and reflectors.

Definitely give the cleaning a go first! Although many are dull on the outside due to pitting.

I revamped mine last year, went with the bosch oem lenses they were a lot cheaper.

Made a massive difference to the front end, just beware of the ocd! otherwise a front end respray will be in the offing.

I'd certainly recommend cleaning the inside of the lenses and also the chromed reflectors. However, take great care cleaning the reflectors as the chrome coating is very thin and very fragile - just use a dry duster.

i bought brand new ones from OPC Colchester that matched the price from design 911. Transformed the front of the car massively
