Cracked Headlight Lense

I have about a 2" crack across my headlight...don't know how it happened!!! :censored: Is there anything I can do to fix it. If not, does anybody know of a way to seal it and/or maybe conceal the fact that its cracked?? This sucks...oh...its a "clear" headlight to :( :(

it takes 5 minutes to replace the headlight assembly with a used one from ebay, or many of the online used parts finders...saw several on ebay as I write this...

Thanks, but i'd like to try do take care of this under 2-3 hundred dollars. That will however be my last resort if it comes down to that unfortunately.

I've seen singles go for under $150 before and you would be surprised home many on these boards don't consider online resources for used. I doubt you are going to find a way to fix that with a substance that will not melt or show. I see several on car-part.com right now for under $100, one in woodstock with a bad inner lens...you could swap the two.

I'll all about cheap to but at some point you need to slap and old part on a Porsche before a tube of whacky glue!

I maybe misunderstanding your need, I lost my amber lens before and was able to glue that back on...but I was getting from your post that the main clear lens is cracked...thus the whole assembly is usually the best solution. I didn't get what side you need but I simply the default right when filling out the question, here are the results I saw whenI put in 1997, boxster, headlight assembly, right and got this:

Now I've had great luck with this website for my Saabs in the midwest. Often if I see the wrong color or side a simple call them result in more parts. About 1/2 the time they have an arbitrary formula for parts prices and have even asked what price it states! When I'm on a budget for my older cars I'll tell them my budget. FYI there is a Porsche dismantle in Oklahoma always on ebay. Very helpful guys to answer email and phone calls but their used parts prices are average to premium at times.

Send me a PM if you need more input or help with a used alternative or let me know I'm way off base on your part need! I'm assuming you need one of the following assemblies:

I have a DVR and PASS assembly for a 97-03 boxster with amber lower reflectors. Both are in fairly good condition, they show a normal amount of wear. Pass headlight has a yellow dot on the inside, but works fine.

either will be 100 + actual shipping costs.

Will be shipping from Tampa bay area.
