That doesn't make sense. Just because the lights are on the same fuse the only reason for both to go out would be if the fuse blows or the lights are wired in series (like old Xmas tree lights). I seriously hope Porsche isn't THAT stupid with their electronics.

When the right bulb was out on our MY06 Turbo the cornering light system did not work at all. This makes sense i think as it appears the computer shuts the entire system off when a fault is detected.

Changed the bulb and it all works fine.

As it turns out, wifey didn't know if both were not working, and they were both out. I got the H3 bulb and replaced the one side and all is well. Pretty impressive how easy the headlight assembly comes out.

On my "04 one corner light bulb worked and the other one was burned out. So, I am not sure why but I only replaced the burned out one and it had been a couple of months.

My left corner bulb went out a while back. Lived with it for about a month till the weather got warmer. I was amazed how easy it was to yank the whole assy out. Anyway, the right right side went out about a week later.
Thanks for this post. I purchased the first one at Sunset for $15. Good to know I can just skip over to Autozone and get one for $6.
