In your FIRST post in the Cayenne forum
https://rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-955-957-2003-2010/280407-just-put-a-deposit-on-a-cs.html
we had the first "warning" sign; here was my reply:
PSSST.....
Ask him about his trailer lighting configuration and brake controller.........
And in the same thread:

And I'm sure you have stayed away from LED lighting and have the "correct" number of incandescent lights ?
To which you replied:
Pace Silver Arrow model. Yes, no LED lights. I am not sure about the "correct" number of lights. Well, nobody is . My guess that with a 20' it will not be too much.
(NOTE: It would appear as though you guessed wrong)
In the same thread, we continue:
If you have a moment, please do a quick count of the lights/bulbs (marker lights, brake and directional).
You may be surprised how many lights you can put on a 20' trailer.
'skl' has an ATC that had "too many" lights and I know of a 10' (yes TEN foot) trailer that had as many lights as a 20'......all of the above referenced cars threw the "!"......but only one Cayenne that I know of has ever been documented for leaving the driver totally in the dark.....no names please.

I hope you're not afraid of heights, because I see a ladder in your future.

Wait a minute.....has anyone's Cayenne caught fire due to "!"
I thought we agreed not to mention the "Trailer Lighting Incident "!" that ended up looking like this:
Now look what I've done, I've gone and scared another new guy

Pfft, stepladders.
I will just put tape over the ! indicator. Lots of people use that method for the "Check Engine" light.
I have posted the results. Everything works fine. Stray indicator lights on the dash don't seem to affect how things work.

You may want to PM 'skl' and ask him about his headlight experiences when one is a bit too far over the 'magic number' of lights.

Similar to boat trailer.
It is LED and/or "too many" incandescent lights on enclosed car haulers (proper trailers)

So what you're telling me is that in fact owning the Cayenne was a GOOD thing for me, since it came with the tight fitting pajamas and meds?
Hmmmn, maybe I'll buy another one, just for fun
