Factory Headlight cover replacement?

Is there a part number or replacement option for replacing the clear front headlight?


To better explain, if you look at the headlight, the part in question would be the clear part that could be damaged.


Mine is cracked from Road Debris.


Thank you,

There's no part number for just the cover and even if there were, the headlight covers are not easily removed. Cutting the lens off with a dremel is the only way to remove them, and you would have a difficult time getting a new lens with a different shape to reseal as the dremel cuts are obviously not uniform.

Which headlight is damaged, or is it both of them?

Thanks, one headlight is comprised but want to replace both.

Guess I'll have to drop $1500 to do it.

Just thought that the lens cover would have made some sense for auto companies to make replaceable.

You can surely replace both for under $1500. I have an absolutely flawless passenger side xenon headlight that I'd sell for $450 shipped. I bought it as a spare to see how painting the inside trim black would look on my car, but I never got around to that project. I can take some pictures if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer. Is it for a 955?

Actually I do have lights for a 955 too, but I was referring to a 957 light. I assumed that's what you had because your signature says 08 Turbo. I'm wanting to hang on to the 955 parts because I still have one. The 957 is gone, hence no need for the parts.

Lol, and I thought you had a 957 with your name.

I have an 08 911 turbo also.

Hah, yeah the user name is now misleading. I suppose I should figure out how to add a signature to clarify.

But as far as lights for the 955 go, there are plenty for sale on eBay. If you're not in a hurry, waiting for cheap listings and buying the lights individually will be the least expensive. Otherwise this foreign seller sells new 955 xenon lights for around $500 a piece. Check out item number 150981466638 for a pair or search the seller's other listings for the individual sides.

You could also sell your old lights to recoup some of the cost. I may even be interested if they're in better condition than the set I have and if the price is right. One day I will get around to doing the black out painting mod... one day.
