I paid $300 for the pair shipped from Germany. I'm willing to sell them for $150 shipped to the US.




Still for sale?

good thing I’m local! Any idea if theses snap on and off like some German cars? Or would I need to bake and pry apart the adhesive?

it's glued on with windshield adhesive like all headlights made in the last 25 years. You need to cut the old one out and remove the remaining fragments and clean out the perimeter groove afterwards. And then reinstall the new lens with windshield adhesive as sealer. Watch M539Restorations video on YouTube as he made one of the better instructional videos. You can try heating the whole headlight in the oven to soften the glue, but you risk destroying the whole headlight so I personally wouldn't do it that way.
