Engine Light just came on after porsche oil change...

Any ideas on getting that damn light to turn off without dropping big money from porsche? I am not usually looking for a quick fix but maybe someone knows something I don't. My book said it could be a loose lid... I don't know.

I agree - totally overdone with all the LED's, and they cost considerably more than oem lights. Not what I had in mind at all.

LEd is way of the future they say

my 2 cents
Too much chrome on that ebay one, a little blackout paint and it will look pretty good even head turning dare i say.

The projector lens on that though is probably garbage. Be warned alot of the aftermarket projector headlights I seen had terrible cutoff. Most even throw less usable light on the road than regular halogens housing

Those eBay ones have since disappeared. Did anyone find out who made them? The same seller sells the rear lights for almost double the price of other sellers, so maybe another seller can get these headlights for a lot cheaper.

I have contacted many sellers who sell rear lights, none seemed to have the front ones.
