Me too but I've wondered if anything is missing because of the empty holes,
And just found out that the screwdriver is reversible!

In the 991.1 I believe the headlight adjustment/removal tool is in there. We don't have that on the .2 as the headlight is apparently actually attached to the car instead of held on with hopes and dreams or something.

Yes, I have a 2015 991.1, and the contents of the tool kit are below. I don't know if the 991.2 is different, but that is what some people are posting above, and indicate that the 991.2 doesn't have the third, hinged item, which is apparently used to adjust the headlights only on the 991.1.

WPO, thanks for the actual pic of the HL removal tool. Seems the 991.2 does not use that simple method, but probably another "over-engineered" solution that only a dealer can provide. I guess the good news is that I'm not missing this tool, but then again, how does an owner remove the HL if front bumper removal is needed for some reason. Seeing my indy shop on Thursday and will ask them and then report back.

You remove the bumper and unbolt the headlight.

Some missing holes are possible as variant versions of 911s (coupe with/without sunroof, cab and targa).
From my BMW experience, they had same tool box with same mold but different tool configurations between options/models.
So I wouldn't worry about that.

you use it to pry the trim off the PDK shifter and release the shift lock. Page 240 of the 2017 owners manual

Neither my dealer or indy could confirm that a tool is supplied with the 991.2. Sooooo, not gonna worry about it for now. Anyone seeing this who has a 2018-19 991.2 who wants to confirm that there is no tool for HL removal in their tool kit; that would be appreciated and put this question to rest. TIA!

there is no tool for headlight removal in the kit. the headlight mounting changed from 991.1 to 991.2. it is now held in with bolts.

Try page 284, or look under "Towing"

There are several diagrams showing you how to use the wedge to access the PDK selector lever emergency release.

So now we know how Porsche spends its time when it's not designing a new series of 911: it works hard on re-arranging the user manual!
