Cayman 981 2.7 standard headlights.....bulb failure alert?

[FrankCayman]

The last night, I noticed my dipped main beam was no longer working on both head lights. I checked and saw a fuse had blown.

No warning message came up on my display at all - I am sure I used to get a notice on my 987's?

Took it in to my OPC today who looked at it (for 2 hours) and they said it was simply the bulbs had gone and they replaced them under warranty!!

All seemed a bit odd....didn't think bulbs would be covered under the Porsche warranty?

has nobody had a bulb go on a 981 yet? Just want clarification if I should get an alert?

This may or may not be of any help, but I've had a couple of rear bulbs fail on my 987 and a warning was given each time.

Thank you, Trev....yes, I always had warning when bulbs went on my 987's....this was weird...but I couldn't get any sense out of the chap at my OPC.....but to be honest, after sitting there for 2 hours waiting, I just wanted to get on with my day!
