So pissed right now...they stold my headlights from my 07 997C2S. Now have to buy a new set of headlights...any idea on what I should be looking to pay for these damn xenons?

I was thinking of maybe upgradig to 09 if possible or even worth it so I atleast get to upgrade?

 

They just stole the bulbs? What the hell?

 

Sorry, I meant headlamps, bulbs and control unit. All gone.

 

I heard that it was easy to steal the 996 units, but thought it was improved for the 997? Is there an aftermarket for used stolen 997 lamps?

 

Sorry to hear... the 997 headlights are too easy to remove. Porsche's engineering prowess is also its downfall in this case. All a would-be thief has to do is pry open the hood and insert the headlight removal tool (which is *conveniently* in the trunk) and the headlights just pop out. I changed a headlight bulb recently and it took all of 5 minutes.

 

where and when in Miami?

 

On Jan.27 on coral way close to the palmetto.

 

sorry to hear. I think they are around $600 per unit. Did you get any body damage?

 

Doesn't your insurance cover this?

Crappy News either way.

 

I talked to Erin from Suncoast Porsche, $2400 for both units, left and right.

 

A few small scratches from what I can tell. Ive been afraid to wash my car, its seating here collectin dust. So sad.

 

1+...

This was such a huge problem with the 996 headlights; i'm shocked Porsche has not learned from previous mistakes with the ease of removing headlights.

 

what the hell? i thought that was so 06/07.

yeah upgrade to 09 lights will look kewl.

 

Thanks for the info - I am going to remove the headlight tool from the trunk right now -

 

If they want your headlamps I bet they have their own tools - I think it's just a 5mm socket anyway.
