I have a new cayenne turbo, just picked up... and the daytime running lights are dots within the low beam lighting area. It's not the horizontal LED lights.

I really like having the horizontal LED lights as my daytime running lights instead. Does anyone know if there is a setting for this? I can't find it.

thx.

The turbo has a completely different wiring harness as well as two extra pin outs on the connectors at the back of the headlights (11pins on the standard xenons vs 13 pins on the turbo xenons, with the extra two pins being for the 4 LED's).

Unless you change the wiring harnesses there is no easy way to get the lower lights to switch on in place of the 4 LED's (around the xenon's) in a turbo.

I live my horizontal, but if it's any consulation, I think the four LEDs in the headlights of the turbos are awesome. So futuristic looking when on.

The 4 led's around the turbo lights differentiate the turbos from the rest.... I think the upcoming GTS will have the turbo lights as well.
I like all led's on all models.
