Just Checked , It does not have cornering light at all . I can confirm that second globe works on high beams 100%. its disappointing that on such an expensive car the feature is missing or you ahve to pay extra ...

@antikora89 it can be done , have a look at this vid by flat6 guys. here is the link where you can buy them :LED Headlight Conversion

I did this with The parts from Alibaba spent about 1300 USD with shipping : Quality is B to B+ customer service and instructions are F- Everything you read above is correct : You have to have it programmed but they look great and light intensity is much improved. Not just lumens but wave length is very different. It has been about months no degregation. Weirdest thing in the install is how to stop the Headlight wiper fluid from leaking forever on to floor once its disconnected. So I swore a lot during.. once done .. I like the look and light it puts out. Yes you need new gasket and some of the plastic components that were on your car you have to either remove or cut [ I cut them ] If you guys need help let me know. If you have small hands you do not have to remove the bumper to cap the hose that supplies to headlight wipe squirt thing ..

Did you take it to the dealership to have it programmed, or were you able to program with a tool (i.e. Launch x431)? I installed Alibaba LED headlights, everything functions great, but I have error code “C11006 Control Unit, Coding”. In the instrument cluster the error shows up as “Headlight Range Regulation Defective, Service Required”. Any help would be appreciated!

I have the exact same problem and I don't know how to fix it. Have you solved? Does anyone have any advice?

I’m still working on it. Finally have my own PIWIS system to mess with it. I will be sure to report back with instructions once it’s solved.

ok thank you very much, I'm waiting for news in the meantime I'm trying too. A curiosity, but did it give you a bonnet closing problem?

Awesome, let me know if you figure it out. Nope, no problems closing the bonnet after a few trail and error adjustments of the supplied bracket.

If you want the error code for headlight removed, you would need piwis and let the supplier's tech to do the remote online programming with your piwis. It's a bespoke procedure of coding it out. Unless you have a shop that is expert at coding out errors for aftermarket headlights

 

[ATDesign]

Band-aid solution using PIWIS III available for Alibaba headlights to eliminate instrument cluster error messages while keeping full headlight functionality:

• Deactivated the”headlight range regulation defective” error message via coding under instrument cluster.
• Recalibrated headlights following PIWIS procedure under headlight central
• Deactivated AFS warning lamp under instrument cluster.

No more warning errors visible on dash and aftermarket headlights fully function. Note; the headlights technically are not communicating with the instrument cluster (fault code 29000 stored), however, I am satisfied with the results given they are aftermarket headlights/modules. OEM would be able to communicate and if I ever decide to revert back it’s simple reactivation of the messages I coded out.

Hopefully this helps other folks with Alibaba/chinese headlights.

So I did this yesterday and was able to deactivate headlight range regulation under Front End Electronics so instead of simply coding out the error message, the car now knows it doesn't have this option. Found it easier than doing the instrument cluster error message delete option. I did this using a Maxisys scan tool

Hi there, I have an Autel and it's showing the same code? How exactly did you remove this warning?

 

[Yadkin]

I don't get this obsession with LED headlamps. The bi-xenon projector, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of headlamp design.

 

[snipe]

Each to their own mate , I like the LED lights and functions it provided over bi-xenon. so i upgraded but bought factory Lights and got them upgraded at specialist all done professionally . they were straight swap with some coding . i had trouble with wrong modules but good people here helped me out by identifying the correct modules.

It is possible from bi-xenon to LED in gen 1 to gen 1 but not gen2 unless you buy after market . as long as you buy a pair of factory lights and correct control module you shall enjoy all PDLS+ functions and worry free ownership . mine are also covered under Factory extended warranty since they are a Porsche product , confirmed by dealership .

Ciao, ho lo stesso problema dopo aver cambiato il mio bixenon afs con fari a led cinesi.
Can you tell me the procedure to do to eliminate the error from the instrument panel? I have piwis 3 clone and launch x431 pro elite. Thank you

Sapreste indicarmi la procedura da fare per eliminare l'errore dal quadro strumenti? Ho piwis 3 clone e lancio x431 pro elite. Grazie

The Malaysian fb post is a CN aftermarket product which replicates the latest 2019-2021 headlights plug and play, they give replacement mounts which is just bolted by 2 or 3 screws. They are identical but does not have the porsche lettering badge inside the headlight. It however does not have adaptive cornering lights.
And it requires the 2019 oem headlight rubber seal, the older headlight seal does not fit on the 2019 aftermarket headlight.
It would only need a manual alignment and require an auto coding tool from any high end version coding tools like PIWIS or autel maxicom to enable the high beam function.

There is a way to retrofit the original 2019-2021, requires modification of wiring plug, but the coding part is more tedious with trial and error.
I would highly recommend going for the CN aftermarkets instead, the LED quality is identical.
Difference is the adaptive corner light. I do not find it a necessity but it does add some safety being able to increase tight corner visibility for others and yourself.

.

Do you know if these CN aftermarket lights will continue support PDLS+ with dynamic high beam?

Were you able to solve the error with Piwis?
Nvm, just saw your post below

Thanks Joeali for this. Can you let us know which Maxisys tool you have and what were the steps you did to deactivate error message. Thanks

Hello everyone, I recently purchased some aftermarket matrix style headlights for my 2015 Macan S. I currently have OEM PDLS headlights. I plugged in the new headlights to test them to see that all worked correctly before I do the install. When I plugged the OEM headlights back I got an alert on the dash "Headlights Range Regulation Defective Service Required". Also, now my high beams, cornering lights and AFS all seem to be disabled and not working now. low beams and DRL work fine still. I have a Launch scanner and got code C11006 Control Unit, Coding. I tried to clear but code still comes back. I did some research and looks like i may need to recode my headlights in order to get all functions working again. Is a PIWIS the only tool that can do this? Is there any other tools that can do this coding? Thanks for your help

Do all of these aftermarket headlights need to be coded as I was told by a seller there completely plug and play with no coding, from beyond visual
