Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Odds on it’s the headlight switch, which is a known issue and not hard to replace see link below.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

HI Terry Odds on it’s the headlight switch, which is a known issue and not hard to replace see link below. https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=583771 good luck

POST 2Original post

My headlights have stopped working when the switch in engaged. Sidelights work, fogs front and back are ok and main beam is ok when you hold the stack. It doesn't work when you put them on perm. I've checked the two 15A fuses in row A and they are ok. I haven't replaced the bulbs so maybe they have both failed at exactly the same time. Job for tomorrow. So that leaves the switch itself. How easy is it to replace? Any thoughts always appreciated and yes I will buy a new bulb to check they haven't both blown together.Thanks

POST 3Original post

Cheers Andy. Ive been trying to get to the bulbs. I have removed the headlight unit and then then back section that exposes the back of the bulbs. I can get to the big one that is I think the foglight but the one underneath that I think is the main beam is impossible. I just want to check they are ok. Any tips for getting that out without breaking something? Thanks

POST 4Original post

Andy you are correct its the switch. Thanks for the direction. [s2]
