LED on Macan S or Diesel

Let me get this straight:

There are no option to get the 4-point LED on an S or Diesel?

Bi-xenon or PDLS Plus or whatever...

The 4-point DRL are on every Macan, regardless which light option.

If you Google 4 point led Macan, you Will see that its a selling point for the turbo.

I think the 4 point LED's look freaking stupid, IMHO.

Correct, even the 991 models are starting to get them integrated into the edge of the headlight housing.



I like the look as well. Much more subtle than all the crazy swishes and other patterns other manufacturers are going to with their LED character lighting.

I actually prefer the old style horizontal LED DRL.

Then tell me why the Macan S had a 4-point DRL on the L.A. Auto show or in all the movies Porsche makes....

All cars have the 4-point DRL. The differrence is that with the standard halogen headlights on the macan S and Diesel S come halogen 4-point DRLs, while with bi-xenon option or standard on the Turbo they come as LEDs. The Turbo's headlights on auto show weren't any different from the ones in the Macan S next to it.

Canadian Macan S Lighting System

While the US spec Macan S gets Bi-Xenon lights with PDLS as standard, the Canadian spec Macan S does not. It only gets the following standard spec:

Halogen main headlight with project type technology and automatic static headlight levelling incl. halogen daytime driving lights.
Front light units with LED position light and turn signal.
Fog lights integrated into the lower front fascia.
Time-programmable courtesy lighting via daytime running lights (Welcome Home function).
Automatic headlights.
3rd brake light (LED), integrated in roof spoiler.
LED taillights with adaptive brake lights.

The Canadian spec Macan Turbo gets Bi-Xenons with PDLS as standard. PDLS Plus is an extra-cost option.

I don't think that the US-spec gets PDLS as standard. It's a $720 option...

However, I asked it the Porsche people at the LA Auto show as well as my salesperson back here in Switzerland, but both confirmed that all Macans get the 4-point signature lighting in the headlights. That's all I know...

All three Macans on the L.A. Auto Show had the 4-point lights. Two Macan S (both sapphire blue) and a black Turbo.
