Driving in Europe - headlights!

[OPOGTS]

Taking my 981 Cayman GTS into europe this week for a driving trip through France and Italy

I'm reading that I have to adjust the lights and I have bought some kind of kit from Amazon to do this.

However, is there simply a way to adjust them in the car's setting and avoid the faffing??

Cheers

On both 997 and Cayenne its easily done, also on Boxster from memory.
Pop headlights out and flick a switch inside the waterproof panel on the back of the light unit. Cayman must be the same.Have you RTFM?

On the 981 GTS it’s done through the menu system on the PCM.

I didn't bother in my 981 Cayman S I've just come back from Italy, came through France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

But I wasn't really on the road when it was dark, maybe the last night in Germany only.

Only thing I did change was the speedo to KM/H in the menu.

If you have PDLS you can flatten the beams on the PCM

This. Same on my 981 CS. Do it when you change to km/h.

does it automatically switch when you change it to KM/H? if it does then I was driving around with headlights adjusted.

No it's a seperate setting, I was just suggesting doing at the same time.

Any joy? I can't find where to change it....

And having (finally) consulted the manual it sounds like you need PDLS in order to do this via the vehicle settings menu - i don't seem to have this option and i think that means its a 'headlights out' job alas
