Hi, I have a 997.1 GT3 and an '08 VW EOS wit auto headlights. The light switches for each look the same. and the rear terminals are identical. but when I connected my VW switch to the Porsche, it did not work. In fact I may have done some damage to the rear body module as I am now getting error messages about the rear fog lights. So this is not the way to go for auto headlights. Keep looking -- I am also interested in auto headlights for my GT3.

 

Late to the convo... i was originally disappointed for no auto on/off headlights, but since the ignition and headlight switch are next to each other, i simply turn the headlights on/off everytime i start/stop the engine.

 

Good afternoon gentlemen,

There is a solution for 911 997, Boxster and Cayman 987 and CAYENNE 955 and 957.
I run it on my 997 TT; installed in minutes and almost invisible.
No need to change the original switch

its called PALS, check autolightsystems com website.

Cheers

 

So, 8 bills for a light sensor and some wires? ...Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door! I'll turn 'em on myself, thank you very much.

 

$800? for automatic lights? lol. that's an insult.

 

maybe there is something you can get from the convertible to do it?

 

Maybe for Lada car but we're talking Porsche option price level here and it's still cheaper than a PDLS option on a recent model.

I haven't been able to source a cheaper solution anyway for a $80k to $100k 997 TT

And there is also a GPS sensor to capture the speed and turn the lights on when you reach 80kmh 50mph-ish so one can see you coming from behind

 

That an absolutely crazy price.
