Symptoms of Fault

Reasons to inspect the lamp include weak or intermittent illumination, moisture within the housing, damaged lenses and corrosion at the electrical contacts. Poor earth connections or deteriorated wiring can produce similar symptoms, so the lamp assembly should not be assumed to be the cause without inspection.

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing a damaged assembly addresses deterioration of the lamp itself and supports restoration of the intended lighting arrangement. Inspect the surrounding mounting area, connections and sealing components at the same time. OE Match's Porsche-focused replacement programme uses original references and vehicle application information to help identify the appropriate component.

FAQs

Is this the shine-up version?

What should I check if the light works intermittently?
Inspect the contacts, wiring and earth connection, and look for moisture or corrosion before deciding which component needs replacement.

Are the model years sufficient to confirm fitment?
No. Check the supplied references and the relevant chassis limits as well as the model and production year.
