Got them on my 997.2 Targa.. work well. The adaptive headlights adjust quite well to sharp turns, as I tested earlier this winter driving round the neighborhood in the pitch dark, where the headlight pattern is clearly visible and I was able to see the kink in the beam patter return to center after making several 90 degree turns in the dark at a slow speed (20mph). So at speed they will give you a good bit further visibility into a bend, which can be quite valuable driving dark country roads with trees and/or mountains and hills on either side. Now if you drive in the flat parts of the world, with little or no trees, or mainly in urban areas, then the adaptive headlights are probably worthless to you.

Have them on my wife's VW Tiguan and they are fantastic. We live in a hilly and bendy road rural area and a lot of cornering is involved. For our type of driving the dynamic cornering lights are just great. Will def get them on my next P car.

Have them on wife's X3 and on the 997. A worthy option.

i was just wondering if it was something that Porsche added to replace the bi-xenon option and if they were worth it...sounds like they really are
