Hi people
The halogen headlights are terrible on my 2011 cayenne.
I've tried hid kits and got nothing but warning lights on dashboard.
I've now got a set of Cree led bulbs which are a little better but still rubbish. Can anyone offer any suggestions so that I may actually be able to see at night
Really frustrating

Quite happy with mine.
Do you want whiter light or brighter illumination.
Halogens are not particularly white, but the illumination is reasonable.

I'm not worried what colour they are I would just like to see at night. My drl's are brighter. My reverse lights and interior lights would cast more light.
The beams are adjusted correctly but are dangerously poor.
I've read somewhere that projectors can burn out?

As an aside I had Xenon on my 2012 Cayenne and I thought they were poor. If I was buying new given the costs I wouldn't go out of my way to spec them. LED are the 'future' but they're even more expensive _________________ Me? The 13th Duke of Wybourne? Here? In a sixth form girl's dormitory? At three o'clock in the morning? With my reputation?

Does anybody do an LED conversion for the Cayenne.

I'm glad you just said the factory xenon were poor also.
I find the light is incredibly limited and seems shocking for a decent car to have such bad headlights.
My wife's Morris minor no word of a lie has better headlamps from 1967
This is become such bone of contention with my wife and I that I believe the car will be sold over something as daft as the headlights

That or the oil leak from the bellhousing if it's a diesel _________________ Me? The 13th Duke of Wybourne? Here? In a sixth form girl's dormitory? At three o'clock in the morning? With my reputation? What were they thinking of?
