I asked chatGPT;
On the Porsche Macan, the H7 bulbs are typically used for the bend lights (cornering lights), which are part of the headlight assembly. Here’s a more detailed guide to locating and accessing them:
Location of the H7 Bulbs (Bend Lights):
The H7 bulbs are housed within the headlight assembly, specifically in the section designed for cornering or bend lights.
1. Access from the Front Trunk (Hood Area):
• Open the hood and locate the back of the headlight assembly.
• Each headlight unit has a rear access panel that allows you to reach the bulbs inside.
2. Position Within the Headlight Assembly:
• The H7 bulb (bend light) is located lower and to the side of the main headlight beam (projector or LED system).
• You may notice multiple bulb sockets for different functions. The H7 bulb will usually be positioned slightly offset from the central beam or marked for its function (e.g., bend light or cornering light).
3. Access Panel on the Rear of the Headlight Assembly:
• The rear of the headlight assembly has a removable cover. This could be a twist-off cap or a snap-on cover, depending on the Macan model year.
4. Driver vs. Passenger Side Differences:
• Driver’s side: Access may be slightly more restricted due to the battery or other components.
• Passenger’s side: Typically easier to access, but ensure you don’t damage nearby components like the windshield washer reservoir.
How to Access the H7 Bulbs:
1. Locate the headlight access cover on the rear of the headlight unit.
2. Remove the cover to expose the bulb sockets.
3. Look for the H7 bulb holder, which will have a small plug or connector attached to the back of the bulb.
If the space is too tight to access directly, some Porsche Macan models allow the headlight assembly to be removed as a whole unit using a special locking mechanism or screws. Check your owner’s manual for detailed diagrams specific to your model year.
