Retrofit Turbo headlights to 4S

Hello! Greetings from Estonia!

I started to retrofit Turbo headlights (2013+)(with 4 leds drl) to my 2010 panamera 4S. Anyone knows how they fit and how to work out with the DLR in the headlight? I already tried on the lights and they fit good + all the wiring fits. Lights work but they show too low on the ground..How to adjust the lights?

Thanks.

A quick google search yielded responses for adjusting the headlights: http://www.porscheownersmanuals.com/...anamera/8/312/

I'm sure the procedure is similar since the lights are 2013+ unless there's an auto leveling function that is not working

Hi,

I'll borrow your thread, I'm about to retrofit a turbo front gen 1 to my 4s 2010.
Will I get into any issues with coding of the headlights or is it just plug&play? Also the foglight, will the match?

If they are OEM lights there shouldn't be any coding issues. I'm assuming you've already picked up the turbo headlights...do take pics and document

Ok great, have ordered them used, sat on a 2011 Turbo before. Ordered the turbo front also. Will take pictures and post. Thanks for the response.

Mine is a gen 1 so won't be fitting the full LED on it.

So I fitted the turbo lights on the car but there seems to be 2/4 cables missing in the connecting part to the headlight. Thinking it's for the 4 LED turbo lights.
Anyone have succeeded in fixing these cables? Don't want to be changing ECU and things.

Regards

So I need to add a resistance to the lower indicator bulb as it goes two on the 4s and one on the Turbo.
Need to somehow make the DRL cables split so I get both the DRL in the headlight and the one in the bumper.

Am I the first one to do this??

Must be someone that could help me in this matter? All help appreciated.


Edit: Found the cayenne conversion from s to Turbo along with cable kit. Anybody that knows if it's the same cable kit?
