methinks you have to replace the whole glass - but let's see what the experts on our forum have to say... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

without some very creative work, yes, you must replace the entire unit - you may thank porsche and their infinite wisdom for that one

Mark, if you insurance includes zero-deductible glass coverage it may also cover the headlight. Mine did.

J <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/huh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> Just so I really get it...the headlight glass and the whole plastic surround etc are one unit? So, I would need to then buy a white headlight replacement unit, to match the white car? Do I understand this correctly? Hope not....!

the glass cover has a plastic cone attatched to the back that houses the bulb - the body color shroud covers that plastic cone



this can be fairly clearly seen by putting the lights up into the service position
