COMPLETED:: Has anyone changed a Low Beam Bulb on 2015 or newer on their own?
2016 CD - What is the OEM bulb part number for the low beam bulb and how do I change the bulb?
I was wondering is the low beam headlight bulb covered by any CPO warranties? I looked in the manual and it recommends having this bulb changed at the dealership and haven't found any instructions to change it on my own. The passenger side has a pinkish hue to it and I'm assuming that means the bulb has gone bad and about to go out. Is this a DIY repair? Attached are a few pictures of the light from the bulbs.
This shows the pink color best
Edit:
Completed the replacement
-removed the headlight as detailed in the owner manual
-unscrewed the five screws using the tool included with the car near the spare tire as recommended
- twisted old bulb out
- disconnected old bulb
- removed green “harness” from old bulb and installed on new
-reassembled and placed headlight back on as per manual
it was simple and I would categorize as easy on the diy scale, only tricky part was putting the whole headlight back in, I thought I had to twist using the headlight tool into the locking position and it just was working but after a bit of wiggling it actually clicks back in place which is good to know.
Also so the bulb ran pink for about a week of daily using before going out completely.

Hawk - partly useful - but his isn't a halogen bulb, it's an HID. My WAG - it's going to be very similar, but may require removing the ballast assembly to get to the bulb. AllDataDIY is strangely silent on this (which means the factory manual is also silent on it.)

I have a 2016 with the bi-xenon bulbs(PDLS Package I believe) and was able to change it myself. It takes some getting used to but once you get it done it only takes about 5-10 minutes per headlight. All the tools needed are in the tools area by your spare tire. My bulbs were D3S.

Installed, I’ll update the main post with a few pictures of the internals. Thanks for the bulb help!

Refinedswag - thanks! We now have a DIY: https://rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-...hid-light.html
Oh awesome, I'm noticing some typos in my original post but that's ok as it doesn't change the overall instructions, however it would be helpful to also include the following pages from the manual as the page included in the DIY right now is from a different year model.
Thanks!
