PORSCHE MACAN HEADLIGHTS LEFT RIGHT GLASS 95B

For the Porsche Macan (95B), the headlights are a frequent point of maintenance due to a common issue called crazing (fine micro-cracks in the plastic lens). In 2026, there are three distinct ways to handle “glass” issues, depending on whether you want to replace the whole unit or just the clear lens.

1.Replacement Lenses (The “Lens Only” Fix)

Porsche does not officially sell the plastic lens separately; they only sell the complete headlight assembly. However, high-quality aftermarket polycarbonate lenses are now the standard fix for crazing or rock chips.

• 95B.1 (2014–2018): Lenses are readily available.

   

• 95B.2 / 95B.3 (2019–2024): Lenses are available but more complex to install due to the “Permaseal” adhesive Porsche used on later LED models.

• Estimated Cost (2026): $350 – $550 USD for a pair of lenses plus sealant.

• DIY Warning: Replacing just the lens requires “baking” the headlight in an oven (approx. $240^\circ\text{F}$ for 20 mins) or using a heat gun to soften the glue. It is a high-difficulty DIY task.

2. Complete Headlight Assemblies (OEM)

If your internal LEDs are failing or the housing is cracked, you need the full unit. Part numbers vary significantly based on your lighting tech (Halogen, Xenon/PDLS, or LED/PDLS+).

3. The “Crazing” Problem (Surface Restoration)

If your “glass” looks like it has thousands of tiny internal cracks, it is usually UV damage.

• Can it be polished? Only if the damage is on the very surface. If you can feel the cracks with a fingernail, polishing will not work.

• The Permanent Solution: Most owners in 2026 opt for a Lens Replacement Service (where you mail your lights to a specialist). They professionaly swap the lenses and provide a warranty against leaks for roughly.

4. Associated Trim Parts

When removing the headlights, there are small plastic covers and seals that often break:

• Headlamp Cover (Trim): 95B-807-173-C (Left) / 95B-807-174-C (Right). These are the painted or textured plastic pieces that sit just below/beside the light.

• Headlight Seal: 95B-941-324-K. This rubber gasket prevents water from entering the fender area.

5. Installation Tip: The “Hidden” Bolt

The Macan headlights are held in by two 10mm bolts.

1. The first is easily visible under the hood.

2. The second is located deep inside the fender. You will need a long extension and a 10mm socket.

3. Important: Porsche uses “Locktite” on these bolts from the factory. They can be stiff; use steady pressure to avoid snapping the plastic mounting tabs on the headlight housing.
