Critical Technical Notes

1. Modules/Ballasts: These part numbers often refer to the “housing only.” Ensure you verify if the LED Power Modules and Control Units are included, as they are separate components bolted to the back.

2. PIWIS III Coding: Upgrading a vehicle from standard LED to Matrix LED is not plug-and-play. It requires a front-facing camera (for the matrix functions) and extensive coding via the Porsche PIWIS III system to calibrate the beam patterns.

3. Hardware Check: Inspect the cooling fans located at the rear of the housing. Because Matrix LEDs generate significant heat, these fans must be unobstructed and functional.
