Nice job congrats 
i want to do this since a long time but the dealer told me that i will lose the DRLS and they can't make the light bar ON like S model. Where did you ordered the harness if I may ask you?
Thanks

I used the orignal harness from the S, but I built my own harness adapter for the Turbo/GTS bumper lights to make them work properly and also allow the horizontal LEDs to work as both DRLs and parking lights. They do require a couple simple electronic components.
I've been traveling and haven't had a moment to do a full write up on how to build the adapter yet.

The dealer is right. The DRLS are in the headlights for the Turbo/GTS and the bumper only has the horizontal parking lights and yellow turn signals, whereas the S has an extra set of lights in the bumper (yellow turn signal, thin horizontal parking lights, and horizontal DRLs). The bumper conversion kits out there use the Turbo wiring harness, which is why you lose the DRLs (don't have the right pins).<br />

if I Decide to buy the Gts front headlight complete set will the DRLs work on my CS like the Gts or I still need some electric work to make them work. <br />
Any advise.

If you get the GTS headlights (which include the DRLs in them), you will have to redo the wiring on the S. The DRL signal is in the bumper led bar harness in the S and in the GTS/Turbo the DRL signal is in the headlight harness.

ok how difficult is to do the wiring to convert the DRLs from the S to Gts assume that I have already bought the Gts headlights I am sure there is away!

Here is connection.
From Car -
Pin # 9 = Yellow /blue : Right side DRL.
Pun #10 = Yellow/green : Left side DRL.
connect wire to Turbo DRL.
not sure LED pins but from Left, it was Ground pin, DRL, Light, Turn signal (all 4 pins on LED plug on bumper) or Ground-light-ground-turn
Good luck guys!

I ordered a kit from suncoast. Terrible experience. Received kit with missing parts and duplicates parts. I asked if the reinforcement bar was necessary and they said that it wasn't. Well they were wrong and I have to wait an additional week to get my pig back from the shop.
I am interested in the working DRLs with the turbo conversion. Any updates?

I had the same experience with getting extra parts and missing a couple others, but Suncoast was really good about taking care of it. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the reinforcement bar is different (as is also the foam block) and that's the only thing that is missing in your their full kit.
When I get some time, I'll post the schematics on how to build the harness to allow the LED bars to double as both the parking lights and DRLs.

Techart has a DRL which would be an upgrade for the OEM turbo bumper or will be part of their Magnum kit. I assume you can also use this kit on a normal Cayenne with Turbo bumper.

That's right. It's pretty expensive and it does require you to trim and modify the LED bar holding bracket for the Techart DRLs to mount properly.
