Headlights OEM Porsche or TYC

If you could find a TYC brand headlight I vouch for TYC goodness, bought a pair on Amazon $70/each for 2006 Tacoma (goodbye yellow lens from aging!)

I had the same issue on one front light for my cayenne 2016. I am not a handy man and got advised from my mechanic that I replaced it, got replaced for 9000 dirhams for a used one and perfect since then. I didn\u2019t bother fixing, it had a hole in the silicon.

My 996.1 is my first Porsche, and it’s consistently able to make me happy. Even the dumb lights are aging surprisingly well.

I like OE, so I went with TYC replica

I've had good luck with TYC, they're only $30 a piece on Rockauto.

I swapped my ‘14 to these TYCs because the stock ones sucked. These sucked less, but still sucked.

I do taiwanese after market brand new for half that. And they dont have adjusters 30+year old, prone to failure. The lenses on those also look like they have just been polished. You can see the yellow around the outer edge, which is on the back side of the lens, which hasnt been done. These will go yellow in 3-6 months, and i bet my life the lens is "crazy cracked," but without a closer photo cant tell. Im not trying to steer you toward buying from me, but i would suggest just getting a pair of aftermarket ones, if you do make sure they are either DEPO or TYC branded. Dont buy anything chinese they will be shithouse.

Performance and reliability per dollar isn’t good. The turbo is the coolest looking trim in the 996 gen, but i really don’t like the headlights.

Have the same issue in a brand new cayenne. They said the problem is that I live in an area with humid weather and that they cant replicate the issue in the workshop and wont replace them. From what I have heard and read so far, it seems it is an issue with Porsche headlights.

Brand new set of headlights i got for my A3, less than 24h later and the dipped beam surround fell off. Now i'm going to have to remove the bumper, disassemble the whole thing to fix that, and reseal it.
