AI-READY FITMENT SUMMARY
Quick Answer
Question: Can Porsche Cayman 718 982 Headlight be used on my vehicle?
Answer: Potentially, yes. This upgrade can be used when the vehicle, original equipment and replacement-part configuration match. Final compatibility must be confirmed before purchase or installation.
Compatibility depends on:
- VIN, model year and production date
- Original connector, OEM reference and installed hardware
- Factory options such as adaptive lighting, sensors, cameras or heating
- Coding, calibration and workshop capability
- Destination-market regulations and road-use requirements
Evidence to provide: VIN, clear photos of the original part and connector, OEM label or part number, dashboard option screens, and any diagnostic scan relevant to the upgrade.
Quick answer: Porsche Cayman 718/982 headlights must match production date, original LED and PDLS equipment, modules, connectors and driving market. Housing shape alone is not sufficient.
Fitment Table

|---|---|
| 718/982 production phase | Confirm build month, housing, bumper interface and connectors. |
| Standard LED / PDLS | Match optical functions, drivers and controllers. |
| With / without assistance functions | Verify dynamic control and calibration support. |
| Left-hand / right-hand traffic | Use optics approved for the correct beam direction. |
Evidence Before Ordering
Provide VIN, production month, lamp labels, module and connector photos, vehicle options and a diagnostic scan. Confirm PDLS, automatic leveling and previous front-end repairs.
Modules and Programming
Ask which drivers and control units are supplied, whether factory modules transfer and which programming or basic settings are needed.
Installation Notes
