Quick answer: Tangma Craftsman lists separate LED headlight options for the Porsche Cayenne 958 and 958.2. The 2011+ assembly is marketed for 2011–2018 958/958.2 applications, while the 2015+ assembly is specifically described for the facelift 958.2 chassis. Confirm VIN, production date, original lighting, connectors, modules and beam pattern before choosing.

How to identify 958 versus 958.2
Do not select a headlight only from the registration year. Use the VIN and production date, then compare the shape, mounting points, rear housing, connectors and original control modules. Provide full front photos and close-ups of both original lights to the supplier.
The facelift 958.2 uses different exterior and lighting details from early 958 vehicles. Even when a product page states a broad 2011–2018 range, build-specific confirmation remains necessary.
“Matrix style” versus original Matrix functionality
Aftermarket product names can use “Matrix” to describe a modern lens or DRL appearance. That name should not be treated as proof that the assembly reproduces every camera-controlled, adaptive or individually controlled lighting function of an original factory Matrix system. Ask for a written list of supported functions.
Compatibility checklist
- VIN, production date and exact chassis: 958 or 958.2
- Original halogen, xenon, LED or adaptive equipment
- Photos of headlight shape, mounting tabs and rear covers
- Connector and control-module part-number photos
- LHD or RHD beam pattern
- Required functions: DRL, low beam, high beam, turn signal, leveling and adaptive movement
- Local lighting and DRL color requirements
Will the headlights be plug-and-play?
The listings describe plug-and-play installation, but this should be confirmed for the exact vehicle. A physically compatible assembly can still require module transfer, adapters, coding or calibration. Original lighting technology and control modules are the main variables.
Does coding need to be done?
Coding may be required. A like-for-like configuration can be simpler than a change from xenon or another system to LED. Bulb monitoring, DRL behavior, auto leveling, adaptive functions and dashboard warnings should be tested with diagnostic equipment.
What should be included?
Ask for a written packing list showing whether the order contains both headlights, LED drivers, ballasts, control modules, adapters and instructions. Confirm whether original modules must be transferred and whether any function will be disabled.
Installation and testing
- Scan the vehicle and record existing faults.
- Compare new and original assemblies before disassembly.
- Transfer approved modules or install supplied adapters.
- Connect both sides and test before final bumper or trim reassembly.
- Check DRL, low beam, high beam, turn signals, side markers and dashboard warnings.
- Complete coding or calibration if required.
- Perform professional beam aiming.
Which option should I choose?
For a 2015+ facelift vehicle, the 958.2-specific product is the clearer starting point. For an earlier 958 or when comparing a broader 2011–2018 application, begin with the 2011+ listing and request build-specific confirmation. The correct choice is the assembly whose mounting, connectors, modules, beam pattern and supported functions match the exact car.
Frequently asked questions
Will these headlights fit my Cayenne?
They are intended for Cayenne 958-series applications. Final fitment depends on 958/958.2 chassis, production date, original equipment, connectors and beam pattern.
Which model years are compatible?
One listing covers 2011–2018, while the facelift-specific option starts at 2015. Use the VIN and production date for final selection.
Is coding required?
Possibly, especially when changing lighting technology or adaptive functions. Confirm with a Porsche-capable installer.
What modules are included?
Package contents vary. Confirm drivers, ballasts, control modules and adapters in writing.
How difficult is installation?
Advanced. Diagnostic scanning, possible coding and beam aiming make professional installation the recommended choice.
Compatibility note: Model-year ranges and “plug-and-play” descriptions do not replace VIN, connector and module verification.
