Default Orange front running lights on 2019 GTS?

Photo is of my 2019 GTS just off the truck at the dealership yesterday afternoon. See the orange-looking front running lights? They are normally white.

Anybody ever see this? Is this just an orange film over the white lights that is removed during PDI at the dealership? Will be asking the SA about it in the morning before heading up to take delivery.

I’ve never seen anything but clear. So will be calling SA in a bit. Maybe it’s just a protective cover for transport.

Well, they are orange when you use the turn signals. Not sure how they would be on constant like that, however.

Turns out the hazard lights were on as it came off the truck, and that's why the lights are orange in the photos. Doh!

It appears I've made an early and promising entry into the 2019 most moronic thread of the year contest.

I should’ve thought of the hazards. Although, in my defense, I didn’t realize those were also the turn signals. I thought they were just running lights.

Seems I’m getting my first Porsche just in time to lose my license due to early onset dementia.

Lol, funny post...don’t worry you’ll feel a whole lot dummer after the honeymoon period’s over and you realize how much you’ve spent / are spending

that’s where I’m at ... 14 months in, 12,000 miles and now a cracked windshield. My baby is old and worn out.





Enjoy the first 7,500 miles they’re special moments!!

Thanks. I turned a 40 minute highway ride home into a 90 minute back-roads ride home. But still not even at 100 miles. But what fun these first miles are. And the fun just gets better as my seat time grows and my comfort level increases. Even keeping it under 4000 rpms and it's a blast. Still, it seems like it'll take forever to get to 2000 and be able to let her rip.

Sucks about the cracked windshield. I figure it's just a matter of time for me seeing as how a disproportionate number of 911's seem to be get hit by rocks. Gotta be some sort of cosmic comic irony. There's no escaping it. One could probably drive a Yugo for 300,000 miles and never pick up so much as a scratch.
