Retrofitting Auto-On Lights?

Hi -- be sure to check your vehicle -- on the '04 Cayenne S a feature exists called, "Automatic Driving Light Assistant." It's page 120 and 121 of the '04 manual.

It may not be exactly what you're looking for. A lot of folks prefer the ability to control their lights with no intervention -- but the Automatic Driving Light Assistant is a partial step in the fully auto-on feature you want. You can always leave the headlight switch setting to "auto" and you're at least covered with auto-on in the dark, rain and high speeds (87mph and over).

Manual overrides of safety features are, I think, a nice part of the Porsche legacy.

Update/correction -- it may be your vehicle did not come with this option. The manual shows with and without Automatic Driving Light Assistant.

With the small exception that I don't have an "auto" selection on the switch :)

That's what I'm trying to retrofit...

Posted a correction before I saw your note -- now I get it, yeah, indeed, what's up with an '08 CTT skipping this feature!? :o

Sunset may know if it's retrofit-able.

I was in a 2010 CTT-S on Saturday that didn't have it either!
