Haven't had a problem. Just curious, which part of PDLS isn't working: the static cornering lights that come on when you turn the wheel, the dynamic part where the headlights swivel into a turn, or both? I will say that the swiveling feature is pretty subtle and not nearly as obvious as it was on my Audi S4.

Good question Mike. The static lights are working fine. The swiveling feature isnt working. I can def tell a difference when comparing vs a 997.2 and Panny.
Also i got a "Fault Headlight control" message but the dealer wasnt able to verify.

I also had that "Fault Headlight" message one time, but after turning the car off and back on it didn't repeat and has never returned; headlights work fine.

When I turn on the ignition in the garage (light switch in Auto mode) I can watch the headlight's movement on the garage wall. They come on, aim down, back to level, appear to change focus, then each headlight twitches to the outside and back to center. It's as though they are doing a self check of all their features including the swivel. Do yours do the twitch to the outside?

Not sure how revelvant all this is, but if they don't do the twitch it might be a clue to the problem.
