sounds a lot but actually isn't....

very easy to change, improves the headlamps (beam, focus and clarity) and cleans up the front look !

in the end a very effective mod !

old headlamp.. car is almost at 100k miles and is 9 years old....

new headlamp glass....

- the beam from the headlamp is now crisper

- focal point of beam that was missing from left headlamp has returned

- a lot cleaner.. headlamp glass was a bit yellow'ish.. so now I have clean & clear headlamp glass (although why they call it glass when in fact it is plastic!)

- main headlamp is from the upper section and you can clearly see how much easier it would be for light to penetrate the clear plastic lense instead of the dull old lense


as for the cost... OPC were quoting about £73 each ! and various specialists were quoting about £55-65 (exc delivery) each but in the end (after a bit of hunting around) Jasmine Porsche had them up at £47 EACH and with delivery at £12 that was a total price of £108 all in ! not bad at all.....

from the way the front of the car now looks.. money well spent ! [:D]


 
Thanks for the information Sundeep. I have been thinking about doing mine for a while.

Thanks, good tip Sundeep.

My car looks pristine with the exception of the stone chipped and discoloured headlamp lenses. This is another job for the list.
