Warning message came on yesterday saying “Right Dipped Beam Bulb Needed Checking.”
Had a look + it wasn’t working so phoned OPC to see how much it would cost to sort. Initially quoted approx £100 (half hour labour + H7 halogen bulb cost + VAT etc, etc) but on re-checking they firmed up on a price of £80 all in and said could do this morning
Being a stingy Yorkshireman this just seemed like I was being taken for a bit of a ride/easy touch so watched a useful YouTube video.....
.....and then slipped round to my mates Fiat/Lancia/Alfa garage this morning and did it with him in about 15 mins - giving him £10 for the bulb + his help
Hope others don’t need a new headlamp bulb but, if you do, could be worth using a non OPC garage or even considering doing it yourself

It's one of the few things in the manual that Porsche suggests you can do yourself! And it's simpler on the Macan than a lot of cars these days that need special tools and half the car dismantling to gain access.
Note that DIY only applies to the halogen lights.
