Hello I'm shopping for a 987.2 S and xenons are a must for me. Can you visually identify cars with xenons? I thought that the presence of the chromed headlight washer would be the marker, but I have seen cars listed as having xenons which don't appear to have headlight washers, is that possible? Or is it only PDLS cars that have washers? (Is there a xenon option without PDLS? I've seen conflicting info on this) I would prefer to be able to tell myself from pictures if possible rather than drive for ours to get some blather on the forecourt thanks in advance

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

From the 987.2 Brochure. there was only one option/upgrade, and the info would indicate the washers are the difference: Edited by kmpowell on Friday 12th August 17:05
The washers was always the thing I looked for and it always seemed to tally up.

They bought it unaware as the 2nd, 3rd (and so forth) owner based on wrong information. No washers = no xenons. period. unless someone has retrofitted them, in which the advert would make a point about it.
Thanks all!
