Default I hate CA Freeways!

I got this on my drive today. Never even heard it happen!

Any suggestions about headlights and changing them since I am now forced do something??

Thanks.

You can order the lense by itself. My wife was driving my car a few years ago, and the exact same thing happened on the 710.

Just checked my records, it was $79.50 at Pelican. But that was in 2007.

Pretty easy DIY, just pop the headlight and remove the old lense, replace with the new one and put it back in.

Sorry to hear about that. I would look into replacing both left and right, that way they match. After you install the new headlight get some clear bra over those lights.

I have a pair of lenses that I can send you for $100 + shipping.

FDM sells 3M lens covers, very durable stuff!

Ouch!

Ilko, what condition are they in? I would buy the US passenger side if they are like new and CeeTwoS wants the driver side only.

Same thing happen to me last year. The roads are terrible for the mild weather we have in California.

I cannot recommend enough, the lens covers from xpel.com.

Having said that, FD Motorsports is a great vendor, and I would assume the lens protectors they sell are good too. It isn't rocket science, but they are NEEDED.

I have a used drivers side one that will likely match the passenger side yellowing wise. If you only want the one vs the two I am asking $60.00 including shipping for the one. Let me know via PM

+1...I have had xpel on my GLK for 5 years now...headlights look like new. I think those covers are a must for any new car with plastic lens.
too bad they don't have pre-cut set for 993
