Did you figure out how to snap then back in..? Why did you remove them?, to put bluer bulbs? if so, nothing hotter than 55watts or else you will melt the round lense inside.

I think the Genuine Xenon lights on the -02 996 are over $1200 per each.... We should have a "mark our headlights" day....

We can all mark them just incase they find their way on ebay....

Well, you do take your car out too Hooters don't you? I would say that it can happen at anytime.... When I had my M3 I came out of the mall after less than 15-minutes only to see my clear corner lamps missing....

Those are only $50 the pair at the time but still, it will piss anyone off...

I could only imagine the feeling of having your $1,300 x 2 headlamps stolen.... :x

Porsche says and so do all the people including me who have burnt there lenses because of bulbs that were hotter than 55watts. Take them out right away cause the lense will start turning yellow, then brown then you'll see bubbles forming in the lense then the bubbles will get larger and form into a hole.

The Picture of my car below is an example of having a 75watt bulb installed for less than 1 year.
