    Yup that's the one. Give the cables a firm tug and make sure they don't slip out.

    That’s the one. Pull on each wire not just the harness.

    Is there a way to get fluid into the oem headlights? On my old cayenne there was haze inside the light which was able to be removed by using methanol, which would then conveniently evaporate. Worked like a charm.

    but I cannot tell is there is any opening on the back of the unit. Can the parking light be removed to create an hole to try this out? At worst case if I ruin it, I’ll have a great excuse to replace them with these aftermarket ones!!!!

    cayenne article for reference

    Yes, lots of openings if you have the light out. Largest one is under the ballast if you remove that.

    Would the methanol harm the paint in a 360 light?

    Excellent. Thanks for the info!!!


    I’m not really sure. I know that it did not affect the painted section of the Cayenne headlights. The trick is to hold it upside down and try your best to not let it hit the other items inside by trying to keep the fluid on the clear lens.

    I would try methanol on painted plastic first.. it might dissolve the paint inside the light?

    Amazing! Would love to have the carbon units, but I'm not sure anything other than color matched headlights look good on a CS. Will probably be buying a nice paint to match set. Really nice!

    Why are they saying you need to remove the front bumper yet there seems to be no bolt that cant be accessed from inside the wheel well with the bumper on.
    Is removing the bumper really necessary?



    Also I find it kinda shady that they turned off comments for this video.

    Yes, removing the bumper is really necessary. I just did the install and made the first (to my knowledge) DETAILED install video on these lights. This should help everyone on this thread ;)

    Spoiler Alert: they rock!

    There is no way to access the front bolt without removing the bumper. In addition, it would make working on the other two pts infinitely more difficult with the bumper on because a lot of the optimal angles for adjustment are from the side and through the frame that the bumper mounts to.
