Headlamp Seal
The OE Match Headlamp Seal is a replacement sealing
component designed for the headlamp assembly on Porsche 356 Pre-A models.
Fits:
- Porsche 356 1950-55

Fitted around the headlamp mounting area, this seal helps prevent water and dirt entering the assembly while protecting the surrounding bodywork. Ideal for classic Porsche restoration and routine lighting maintenance.
What Does It Do?
The seal creates a protective barrier between the headlamp assembly and surrounding bodywork, helping prevent moisture ingress, corrosion and unwanted vibration.
Why Does It Fail?
Common causes include:
- Rubber hardening with age
- Cracking and deterioration
- Exposure to sunlight and weather
- Compression and loss of elasticity
- Damage during headlamp removal
When Should It Be Replaced?
Replace the seal if it becomes cracked, brittle, flattened or no longer provides an effective seal.
Replacement is also recommended when removing or restoring the headlamp assembly.
Confirm compatibility with the original headlamp assembly before ordering.
Installation Notes
Clean the headlamp mounting surfaces and remove any old sealing material before fitting. Position the new seal correctly and ensure the headlamp assembly is securely installed without pinching or distorting the rubber.

The OE Match Number Plate Light Gasket is a high-quality replacement sealing gasket designed to fit between the number plate light housing and the vehicle body on compatible Porsche models. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, profile and durability, this gasket provides a weatherproof seal that helps prevent water, dust and moisture from entering the number plate light assembly and surrounding bodywork.
Fits:
- Porsche 356 1950-55
- Porsche 356A 1955-59
Manufactured from premium automotive-grade rubber, the gasket offers excellent resistance to UV exposure, ozone, moisture and temperature fluctuations. Precision-cut to match the original dimensions, it provides factory-style fitment and is ideal for restoration projects or replacing hardened, cracked or deteriorated original seals.
What This Product Does:
- Creates a weatherproof seal between the number plate light and body panel.
- Prevents water ingress into the light housing.
- Helps protect electrical connections from moisture and corrosion.
- Reduces the entry of dirt and road debris.
- Cushions the light housing against the body.
- Helps prevent vibration and rattling.
- Restores the original fit and appearance of the number plate light.
- Forms an essential part of the exterior lighting sealing system.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Water inside the number plate light housing.
- Condensation forming inside the light lens.
- Corrosion of electrical terminals or bulb holder.
- Cracked, split or hardened gasket material.
- Dirt or moisture collecting around the light assembly.
- Loose or rattling number plate light housing.
- Electrical faults caused by moisture ingress.
- Visible gaps between the light housing and body panel.
- Perished rubber due to age or UV exposure.
- Premature bulb failure caused by moisture contamination.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The number plate light gasket is continuously exposed to rain, road spray, UV radiation and changing temperatures. Over time, the rubber can harden, shrink or crack, reducing its ability to maintain an effective seal between the light housing and the bodywork.
- A deteriorated gasket can allow water and dirt to enter the light assembly, leading to corrosion of electrical contacts, condensation inside the lens and unreliable number plate illumination. Moisture trapped behind the light housing can also contribute to corrosion of the surrounding body panel.
- Replacing a worn number plate light gasket restores the weatherproof seal and helps protect both the lighting assembly and the vehicle bodywork. The OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, premium-quality rubber construction and long-lasting durability, helping maintain reliable lighting performance and preserve the originality and condition of your Porsche.

Why do Porsche Light Seals matter?

Replacing tired or damaged seals helps your Porsche feel better cared for and can prevent small niggles turning into larger jobs later on.
- Keep your Porsche looking smart rather than tired or neglected

When should you review or replace your Porsche light seals?
Checking light seals regularly helps you spot wear, damage or age-related deterioration before it affects comfort, refinement or leads to more expensive repairs later on.
- Existing parts are worn, cracked, scuffed, faded, corroded or missing
- You notice looseness, vibration or an untidy appearance around the area they sit in
- You have had related work carried out and want everything to look and feel consistent
- You want the car to feel smarter and better cared for in daily use or before resale
If any of these apply, it is a good time to review your light seals and replace anything that is past its best so your Porsche stays dependable and enjoyable to drive.
