Hello
Can somebody help me please

My lights spec is bi xenon
But I’m not sure which ones these are

I’ve attached a copy of the spec sheet but it just says no xenon including. But it doesn’t say what it includes?

I think it includes headlamp wash. That was not included on the standard halogen lights.

I just looked at my invoice (from 2 Sep 15) and there are similar statements, such as 'Adaptive Sports seats incl. co' and 'Black-Garnet two-tone leat' - there seems to be a frustrating character limit on the Description Column!

EDIT: On second thoughts (and having referred to the hard copy Porsche price list that I kept from 2014) I think the 'incl' refers to 'including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)' - these are the lights that automatically swivel towards the inside of a bend, and are complemented by static cornering lights to widen the illumination of tight bends.

Could be headlamp wash (definitely not standard with halogens, but mandatory with xenons) or could could be PDLS - “ round the corner” lighting and sidelights which come on at junctions....

Presumably it means including PDLS?

I’m hoping that is the case because the car is mainly for the misses and she leaves early in the winter and the first 10 miles are on winding roads without lights. I should have given more thought to this at buying stage but my general thought was that all lights are pretty good these days.
I’m thinking that the price uplift for these would most likely mean they are the pdls

I think it is including PDLS - Porsche dynamic light system. The lights angle round the corners and there are static cornering lights when you turn.
