hi everyone
Is it an easy job to remove the head lights on a 996. I want to clean the inside of the headlight glass.
There is a spiders web in there, it is winding me up every time i look at it.
Is this unit easy to get into and clean or is it sealed?
Any help or hints would be appreciated.
many thanks

They pop out in 60 seconds. There's a tool in the tool roll that goes in from inside the frunk. Quarter turn and they pop right out. If you can find the Wheeler Dealers Boxster episode on you tube, they show you near the end when the fit facelift lights. I had mine out to change for driving in Europe, both sides done and back in 10 minutes and I'd never done it before.
