My headlight on the right side stopped working after 6 years and I took it to the Porsche dealer to get it fixed and it turns out that it is a non-serviceable part and that it will need to be replaced as a pair and the bill is well over $7000. The dealership confirmed that it was the LED module that burned out and the whole headlight assembly will need to be replaced. This is of huge concern due to the fact that this is a major safety item for the car and that it should be a simple bulb change that should be serviceable. Because the right headlight was not working, the left headlight seems to be not aiming correctly as it is dipped towards the floor. There was no warning light or messages to tell me about the issue. I found out my headlight was out while driving at night. This is very dangerous when driving at night with minimal lighting.It is outrageous that I need to change both my headlight to change the led module that burned out. I did a lot of researching and there has been quite a large amount of people have the same issue with the headlight especially for model year 2019-2021. I feel that the headlights are defective or wasn’t designed well and the repair or replacement of these headlights should be covered. I reached out to Porsche North America for assistance to this matter but my car is out of warranty and they will not cover the cost of replacement. The headlight or LED module for the low beams should be designed to last the life of the car or be serviceable and affordable to be replaced.

Right headlight assembly defective. Turns out MANY 2019 Macans have this same problem. Only 2019 and only the right side. VERY expensive repair, and many would put it off causing a safety issue
