There was very little interest in the parts. I wound up passing them on to another enthusiast for the cost of shipping. For headlight repair, you might try iqheadlights. I have no direct experience with their service.

I have a complete parts kit for a driver’s side headlight assembly to sell. The parts are salvaged from my 2007 XLR. The outer lens shows significant crazing, and in 2020 it developed substantial cracks as the result of weathering. The other pieces include the ballast from a replacement...
I suffered with squeaky front brakes for a while. My mechanic fussed with them plenty over the course of maybe three or four return visits, and we couldn't solve the problem until we installed NAPA Reactive One Performance slotted rotors. The brakes have been noiseless ever since.
To close the conversation on this topic, I bought a salvaged headlight from J & J Auto Wrecking for $5,650. That smarted. But the assembly was as advertised in excellent, perhaps even near mint condition. It must have been a replacement headlight, because the factory inventory sticker on the...
That's an intriguing possibility. To be clear, you're offering to send me a replacement outer lens, and I need to figure out how to disassemble and reassemble the headlight. Do I understand correctly?
Hi all,
I recently had the bad luck to have the outer lens of my 2007 base model's driver's side headlight develop a large crack. I am looking to replace the headlight assembly. I found a dealer who will sell me a new-in-the-box headlight assembly for $8,000 or a salvaged part they represent as...
Well, winter’s predicted to make a return here over the weekend, so I’ll be back on the ski hill for a day or two. Speaking of which, I have Revelstoke high on my list of winter priorities!

When you say “remove,” do you mean release the button to its extended position, or is there a way to pop the whole button and latch from the cover?

A quick Internet search answers all: Memorial Day weekend. For more information, follow this link here.
I didn't realize we had a local corvette club. Nice.
Hi Mr. O. I’m a Missoula XLR owner. Can you tell me when the caravan plans to come through town? I’d like to join the fun.

Coincidentally, I was in a doctor’s office this week and picked up a 2014 issue of Motor Trend that had an article about the anticipated mid-engine Corvette and its Cadillac sibling. It even included an artist rendering of the vehicle. The hype then was almost entirely consistent with what’s...
Yeah, I overstated the reliability of the suggested shock tests. The original source qualified the advice appropriately and noted the procedures were the best you could do to confirm shock functionality. The numerous ways they might fail is only just occurring to me. I wonder how the car’s self...
Thanks for the response, LTS. I’m still waffling, but my waffling is better informed. And honestly, it’s kinda fun to overthink it.
yes , no, no, yes, yes, no ,Maybe. But not in that order. HAHAHA
1. don't see how it would change the software as the ride module is the same on 06-09 all v and...
I have the Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR model on a base XLR. I believe it’s an OEM tire for Mercedes. No complaints.

I’m waffling about potential suspension upgrades on my 2007 base model when I pull it out of storage this spring. I need to make a decision to install sway bars or not. XLR-net has a bunch of helpful posts, and I’ve picked up lots of solid information. Thanks especially to GizmoQ and Cadillac...
When I purchased my 2007 XLR last summer, the metal trim around the center console showed some minor wear and tear (see pic). The only other XLR I’ve seen had similar blemishes, so I presume that it’s a common problem.
I want to avoid buying an entirely new console assembly, and I’m curious...
