Porsche released a newer version of the second-generation model with subtle modifications such as a facelift, minor exterior alterations, and additional powertrain options. The changes did not impact its off-road capabilities, making it one of the most fuel-efficient models from the previous lineup.
Besides its features, you can enhance the quality of your ride with high-quality components like Xenon headlights. These High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps possess various attributes that make them an attractive choice for Porsche models.
Enhanced brightness, a longer lifespan, and an energy-efficient option are all qualities that can significantly improve your driving performance. During your ride, you may encounter a warning message about these exceptional headlights.
D3S Xenon headlamps: Functions & Benefits
Much like the Porsche Cayenne, the D3S Xenon headlamps offer ample benefits like improved visibility for nighttime and daytime foggy driving, helping drivers spot distant obstacles like potholes and faraway dangers.
You can change your headlamps to D3S Xenon headlamps for enhanced durability that offers faster and steady light illumination. The innovative design of the Xenon headlamps offers enhanced functionality and safety, making them an essential component for a smooth ride.
During the ride, you may encounter occasional warning messages, such as “Check Front Left Right Dipped Headlight,” which you should address promptly. Failure to do so will result in compromised nighttime visibility that can increase your chances of an accident.
What Does The “Check Front Left Right Dipped Headlight” Warning Message Mean?
When you receive this warning message, it means that either side of the dipped beam is not functioning properly. You may see the following messages:

Causes Of Failure
Like all technical things, xenon bulbs also have a lifespan. They promise enhanced durability and illumination, but that is only for approximately 2,000 - 3,000 hours. Beyond this timespan, it can impact performance, brightness, and visibility, or in some cases, both bulbs will stop functioning.
In some cases, the problem does not lie in the bulbs but rather in the control unit. The xenon ballast is the central control unit, which maintains the power to a constant 35 W. Inability to do so can also be the cause behind your front dipped lights not working.
How To Fix
To get to the bottom of the warning message, you can swap both your front headlights to inspect where the problem lies. If one continues to flicker or does not operate, you need to invest in a D3S Xenon headlight replacement.
If you determine that the problem lies in the ballast and not the bulb. The next step would be to purchase a Xenon ballast compatible with your vehicle. For your Porsche Cayenne 958 92A Facelift model, the 5DV009932-00 Xenius Xenon Ballast is an ideal replacement to ensure your headlights will function per design.
After you’ve successfully replaced the faulty component, no diagnostic coding is required. The warning message should no longer appear.
