AHA!!! Actually, the dealer I bought it from gave it to me. He had it requested by a previous tentative customer and the local Porsche dealer. did it two weeks before I bought it. Minor stuff noted, no fault codes.
Re: Lights. I swapped out the ballasts on the headlamps. Same problem.
I swapped out the main bulb and voila (that's German, isn't it?), both headlamps and high beams work. Must have been a bad contact. One small bulb, the the right side marker is out, and one small bulb inside the right headlamp is now out. Both will be checked out, but for now I'm thrilled that I didn't break anything!. Once you get the hang of it, removal and reinstallation is very straight forward. The units must have been taken out many times before, though. They show abuse. But hey, as long as they work, I'll be happy. In fact, right now (and it may not last), I'm so happy I must be two people because one person couldn't be this happy.
Thanks again, to all of you who commented.
