Default Cayenne 2006, how do I remove the side corning light?

I need to replace the blub, but do not understand how it is attached.

Thank you

You have to remove the headlight assembly. There is a small removable latch under the hood, then use an 8mm (I think) socket, or the tool in the spare tire compartment. I think it's just a half turn and the headlight assbly pops right out. Access the bulb from the rear of the assembly.

you turn your wheel to give you access to the screws that hold the wheel well cover. remove the front half, pull it free so you can get your hand in. The bulb is in a holder which is push fit into the lens. All pretty blind, but trace the wire, pull out the holder and replace the bulb.

It's pretty easy, just turn the wheels as mudman has said to give you access, then remove the plastic shroud in the wheel well to expose the light. If you don't already have clear corners, now would be a good time to upgrade, takes 10 minutes if you have the right tools for the job.

10 mins if you have the right tools (a small hand) for the job!

Just have the dealer correct the problem, then, if it happens again, it's their problem.

If you can afford the Cayenne, you can afford the repair. Expect to spend 2 or 3 K or more a year on repairs and service if you have a turbo.

Exactly, very sh**ty, if we all could just go to the "dealer" then we wouldn't need this forum...

There is no way to disable the cornering lights.

You will need to trace the bad wiring back to where its still good and replace it

You cannot buy partial harnesses before you ask and each harness is VIN specific so very expensive since the factory would have to custom make one.

Something seriously bad went on to cause this, I would dump it and get another before the next thing shows up
