I am honored to serve as your President for 2013

and want to thank all of you for your support. Under Nicolas Liakas’ leadership, the Santa Barbara Region has concluded a very successful year, and I can only hope to be as e!ective and gracious a leader as Nick. I still

remember the "rst SBR breakfast that Ted and I attended at the Camarillo Airport. Nick and Olga identi"ed us right away as new members and immediately invited us to sit with them for breakfast. Nick’s gi# of recognizing and welcoming new members has done a lot to spur the growth of our region’s membership over the past years. Fortunately, Nick will now serve as Past President and thus still be on the board to provide guidance and hopefully keep me out of trouble.

We have a lot of great people serving as Board members for 2013, and we look forward to serving the club and keeping it on a "nancially stable course. New positions are being held by

The President’s ColumnDoreen Pankow

From The Editor’s DeskMike Pomerantz

John McNair as Vice President, Nicolas Liakas as Past President, Barry Weinstein as Activities Chair, Steve Kaller as Treasurer, Mike Pomerantz as Editor, Ted Lighthizer as Advertising Chair, William Griswold as Safety Chair and Robert Watt as Concours Chair. You’ll "nd the Board member names and contact information near the front of the magazine. I would also like to thank and acknowledge the Board members who are leaving a#er having served two or more years of dedicated service. $ey include John Alfenito as Editor for 4 years, Michael Brovsky as Past President, Jim Brown as Treasurer and previous Insurance Chair, Don Kuckenbaker as Advertising Chair, Karen Turek as Porsche Mademoiselle Society Chair and Mike Turek as Safety Chair. Please thank them for their years of service to the club.

I’m optimistic about 2013 being another great year and hope to keep our focus primarily on car club activities including lots of driving tours, motor sports and social events. $e desire to drive our Porsches with a group of other car enthusiasts is what initially attracts people to join PCA Santa Barbara Region. But it’s the friendships that develop and the camaraderie we enjoy with other club members that keeps us coming back and staying involved. New and prospective members o#en comment on how friendly our club members are and how active our club is, so please keep up the great job of welcoming new members and encouraging them to participate in our events.

Ted and I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year!!

As the new editor of Der Auspu!, I am pleased and honored

to present you with my "rst edition of this award winning monthly magazine. It’s been called a newsletter in the past but has evolved into a beautiful magazine by our past editors Nick Liakas, Janice Herndon, and John Alfenito.

I’ve been a member of this awesome club since December of 1996 when my late wife Adri and I attended our "rst breakfast at California 66 in Ventura. $e very "rst overnight event we attended was the Pozo Run during a very rainy, washed-out weekend. Even with the bad weather we still had a blast and knew we had joined a wonderful group of people who were passionate about Porsches. Although Adri’s passion was more about Poodles, she too became passionate about the club, the cars, and the people.

Since the club has given me so much enjoyment over the years, I really wanted to give something back. A#er a few years of being inactive in the club, I really wanted to become active again. In 2007 I opened my own printing business and was very interested

in printing Der Auspu! since being passionate about printing and Porsches. I contacted Janice Herndon, the current editor at the time, who happened to be looking for a new Der Auspu! printer. I bid on the job and won it! Now, this was really exciting! An opportunity to print the monthly magazine for the club I so much enjoyed. Whenever the Der Auspu! was in the shop, it was always given special treatment and top priority. I was proud to be a part of such a wonderful publication.

A#er several years of printing and becoming very intimate with Der Auspu!, it became time for me to move on from my printing business into a new career. However, since Der Auspu! had been my pet project for so many years, I still remained involved with the printing and distribution of it. When John decided it was time to pass the baton to someone else, I had a slight, %eeting thought about becoming the editor, but knew it was a huge undertaking. So that’s where my thought stayed, %eeting. It wasn’t until I got “the call” from Nick asking me to consider becoming the next Der Auspu! editor. To his surprise I didn’t hang up, but was actually honored that he had asked me, and that he and John were con"dent I could do the job. Even though I had printed the magazine, I was not familiar with all of the front-end details. Nick assured me that John would help with the transition. John has done a tremendous job teaching me the ropes and has o!ered continued assistance. John Alfenito has set the bar extremely high, but I am honored to take the baton and continue publishing such a beautiful magazine. I have a few new ideas for the magazine, so stay tuned in upcoming issues.

Camarillo Breakfast

Okay, it was raining. Maybe not the kind of rain they have in Seattle, but it was wet. And, it’s not as if our precious Porsches would melt in the precipitation, but it does give

one pause when thinking about all the other drivers sliding around out there on the highways.

!ere were understandably many “alternate vehicles” parked in the Way-Point Café’s busy parking lot, but 15 Porsches made the scene at our December Breakfast, "nding ample parking on the runway apron. Included among the Porsches was the 2011 Panamera S of new members Scotia & Roger Alves of Camarillo. !e Alveses were attending their "rst club event, and we all reassured them that rain on our breakfast was an unusual sight. In fact, we were unsuccessful in recalling the last time the weather had been so unkind to us. Probably more than three years ago.

!ere were a total of 58 members, friends, and guests in attendance, including Santa Barbara Auto Group’s Gary Greenheld and Walt Branscome.

Because of the small number of participants, the business portion of our meeting was skipped. Ted Lighthizer and Doreen Pankow, our Activities Co-Chairs, passed out #iers with the upcoming SBR events listed for future reference.

As we headed o$ to complete our Saturday, we were all hoping for a clearer Sunday for the Motor4Toys charity toy drive in Woodland Hills scheduled for the next day. =

It’s not often you see the Way-Point Tree without a few beautiful 356 Porsches nearby, but December’s inclement weather made for a lonely portrait.

Santa Barbara Breakfast

STORY & PHOTOS BY JOHN ALFENITO

December Breakfast Club in Santa Barbara

December 8, 2012

It was a beautiful morning on Stearns Wharf as our region gathered for its December Breakfast Club meeting, traditionally the smaller of our two monthly get-togethers. President Nick

Liakas, chairing his !nal breakfast meeting as our leader, welcomed members, friends and guests.

Visiting us from the Los Angeles Region were Je" Peck and Colleen Stein. Colleen, who has joined us at Moby Dick’s before, provided all interested parties with #iers for the upcoming Zone 8 Banquet in January. She outlined the full day of activity scheduled for January 19, 2013, and encouraged us all to partake.

Next, incoming Activities Chair Barry Weinstein gave brief descriptions of February’s drive to $e Palms restaurant in Carpinteria and March’s ride on Fillmore’s Murder Mystery Train. Both events need advance reservations, and Barry reminded us to sign up early for the fun. It was also revealed that our Holiday Brunch, which would take place the next week, was sold out!

Doreen Pankow, !lling in for Membership Chair Sue Kinsling, told us there were 38 people at breakfast and 27 Porsches on the pier. She introduced new members Leonard Himelsein and his !ancée Sandra from Santa Barbara. $ey were driving their brand new 991 Cabriolet from SBAG. Also, new members Milton & Grace Gabaldon from Camarillo were with us. $ey own two 914s. And Mark & Mary Jacobs attended their !rst breakfast. $ey’re from Ventura and drive a 1986 944 Turbo.

The event was very much anticipated with 80 members and guests registering to attend the drive and tour including a barbecue lunch at the museum. !e morning of the event on November 17, 2012, came along with rainy

skies. However this did not dampen the spirits of 68 hearty souls driving 36 cars from completing the drive from the Way Point Café in Camarillo to the Malamut Museum in !ousand Oaks. Prior to leaving the parking lot at 9:15AM, the group was addressed by William Griswold, Ted Lighthizer, and Nicolas Liakas. !ey

welcomed everyone braving the elements, and reminded everyone that this was a day to observe the speed restrictions, watch for falling rocks and debris on the roads, and especially look out for two-wheeled motorists and bicyclists on the narrow canyon roads.

!e spirited drive, though slowed down a bit because of the rain, started out with a run through the agricultural "elds leading to the Paci"c Coast Highway. Heading

south on Highway 1, the impressive group of Porsches and alternate vehicles ranged from a pristine 1976 930 turbo, one of three originally ordered and toured in Germany by one family before having them shipped to the United States, to a brand new 2013 911 Carrera S recently delivered to one of our newest members, Alan Bennett, who was accompanied by his father-in-law, Harvey Sisskind. A#er several miles of enjoying the view of the Paci"c Ocean, the sun tried to peek through the clouds about the same time the parade of Porsches turned north onto Mulholland Highway, and proceeded up the Santa Monica Mountain Range in a series of twists, switchbacks, and turns. !e previous mention of falling rocks and debris paid dividends almost immediately as there were several locations that had to be carefully negotiated. I am pleased to report that all vehicles and drivers were successful in missing the obstacles. We continued to the top of the mountain

before heading down the backside into Hidden Valley, home to many horse ranches, then a quick glimpse of Lake Sherwood before continuing on to our "nal destination of the museum in !ousand Oaks. We want to thank all participants for a safe drive to the museum and acknowledge the assistance of Ted Lighthizer for volunteering to drive the rear sweep car in case of unanticipated issues or problems.

!e parade of Porsches arrived at the museum at 10:30AM and was greeted by the other members attending the group’s tour. When Mike Malamut opened the doors, the immediate response was awe and surprise as the group of 80 members and guests "led into the museum. !e PCA-SBR R.U.F. group had toured the museum a few years ago, but to the accomplishment of Mike Malamut, the number of vehicles and memorabilia had increased to the point that a second building was opened to accommodate the display of vehicles.

Once our group was in the museum and had an opportunity to sample some very tasty pastries, co$ee, and tea, Nicolas

Liakas addressed us and introduced Mike Malamut. With a little prodding, Mike Malamut told us how he started as a VW mechanic, purchased several automobile dealerships in the Los Angeles area, "nally selling the dealerships to concentrate on the collecting and expansion of the museum which has been on-going for the past 30-plus years. !e museum exhibits are organized in series of nameplates, styles and

types and very unique vehicles accompanied by period memorabilia which brought back fond memories for everyone growing up in the last 50 years. Who remembers the 5 cent Coca-Cola machine or a Bob’s Big

Speedsters and 356 A, B, C and SC coupes and convertibles. !e real standouts of the Porsche collection were a restored 1962 356 Carrera 2 GS and a special bodied 356 roadster Rometsch with very unique front and rear pro"les.

Following the tour of the vehicles and much discussion, the group adjourned to the lunch area set up in the middle of the museum. !e barbecue fare consisted of chicken and ribs, salads, beans and garlic bread provided and cooked on site by !e Meat Locker of !ousand Oaks. Prior to leaving, the group extended many thanks and appreciation to the host and curator, Mike Malamut, for sharing a lifetime of being a “car guy” and putting together such a beautiful collection of quality vehicles and memorabilia. !is was a wonderful experience and, despite the weather, was enjoyed by all attending the event. =Boy restaurant, hand crank gas pumps showing 19 cents a gallon

or porcelain and neon advertising signs for Ford, Fiat, Pep Boys, Rexall Drug and Sundries, Mobil Gas or the Oasis Hotel and Café?

While walking around the museum, what was noticed and remarked on by all was the quality of the vehicles on display. Because Mike was a VW mechanic, there is an excellent collection of old Beetles and transporter vans, all in original or restored condition. Included in this display is a rare mobile caravan attached to a 23-window transporter, early 1950’s Beetles and even a VW !ing. Adjacent to this collection was a series of micro-cars, all of which were restored to better-than-new condition. !e attention to detail was unparalleled, with each vehicle "nished in period colors and bright trim work.

While touring the facility, one could not help but be amazed at the quality and diversity that the collection is based around. In the collection is a completely restored Mercedes 220 Cabriolet, Mercedes Gullwing, Mercedes 190SL and an extremely rare Toyota 2000GT (you may remember one used in the James Bond movie “You Only Live Twice”). As you moved around the collections

there were three 1963 Corvettes, a Shelby Mustang, a collection of early Japanese imports from Datsun, Subaru and Honda, a Berkley Roadster with a chain drive motorcycle engine, assorted early Jaguars, 40’s woody station wagons and even a very rare Helms Bakery truck. If you grew up or lived in Southern California in the 50’s and 60’s you’ll remember that these trucks drove up and down the street selling bakery goods.

Without a doubt, the best part of the museum for us Porsche people was the collection of rare, fully restored early vehicles. !e line-up included four 912 coupes and a Targa, a beautiful blue 1970 911S, a 1955 Continental previously reviewed by the R.U.F. group, The group enjoying the delicious BBQ lunch.

Come join us for a fun-!lled trip to Morro Bay and the Central Coast over the 2013 Memorial Day weekend.

Morro Bay’s most distinctive and recognizable landmark is Morro Rock, also sometimes called the “Gibraltar of the Paci!c.” It is the last of a line of long-extinct volcanoes formed about 23 million years ago, which include nine peaks ranging from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay. These peaks are aptly named the Nine Sisters because they are all in

Morro Bay Golf Course adjacent to the hotel. Discover a coastline of dunes, paddle down a silent estuary to spy on beautiful and rare birds, or sail into the wild Paci!c just beyond the breakwater. Morro Bay is also a great home base for visiting the rest of San Luis Obispo County. The world famous Hearst Castle is just a short drive north of Morro Bay, past the charming towns of Harmony and Cambria. To the east, you will !nd local wineries o"ering tastings of the famous Central Coast varietals.

We’ll depart Friday May 24th from Santa Barbara and travel North on US-101 to enjoy the beautiful views of the coastline before turning inland. At San Luis Obispo, we’ll head northwest on the CA-1 to our !rst stop at the Morro Bay Rock to stretch our legs. Then take a short drive to enjoy lunch at the Embarcadero Grill while overlooking the bay. Following lunch, we’ll take a scenic back roads drive to the Tolosa Winery & Vineyard and indulge in tasting some of the Central Coast wines. Then we’ll drive back to the Inn at Morro Bay, our home for the weekend, where you’ll have time to get settled in before dinner. We’ll enjoy cocktails and a gourmet dinner at the Windows on the Water restaurant while watching the sunset.

On Saturday morning, you’ll be free to explore the area on your own before meeting for an early afternoon tour of the Piedras Blancas Light Station in San Simeon. You can tour the town of Morro Bay or drive up to Cambria, a magical seaside village

tucked amongst towering pines. Here, you will !nd art galleries, excellent restaurants, an old-fashioned saloon, boutiques and a great boardwalk along Moonstone Beach. Or drive up to San Simeon and tour the Hearst Castle. There is also a great viewpoint to see the birthing grounds of elephant seals about two miles before the Piedras Blancas Light Station.

On Sunday morning, we’ll drive to the Montaña de Oro (Mountain of Gold) State Park, which is just southwest of Morro Bay. The park’s name comes from the golden wild"owers that bloom in the

spring. This park features rugged cli#s, secluded sandy beaches, coastal plains, streams, canyons, and hills, including the 1,347-foot Valencia Peak. The best-known beach is Spooner’s Cove, across from the campground. Wildlife in the park includes black tailed deer and the black oystercatcher. We’ll take a 2 $ mile round trip easy hike on the Blu# Trail where you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the blu#s overlooking the ocean and experience the beauty of the spring "owers in bloom along the "at hiking trail.

We’ll then head over to Avila Beach via Perfumo Canyon Road which takes you up over the top of the mountain and then winds its way down to the ocean. Avila Beach is often the warmest beach in the county, n e s t l e d beneath scenic Point San Luis. This seaside town’s attractions include two piers, ocean-view restaurants, deep-sea !shing, mineral springs, and an

original Victorian lighthouse. At the end of the Hartford Pier, you can enjoy lunch at the Olde Porte

Inn which is known for its fresh seafood or dine at the Fat Cats Café near the Hartford pier entry.

You can spend the rest of the day exploring Avila Beach and Pismo Beach or return to Morro Bay for shopping, hiking or gol!ng. Cocktails and a group dinner will be held that evening in the Orchid Room at our hotel so you can just relax at the end of the day and enjoy the company of your fellow club members.

The fee for this trip is $145 per person which includes a lunch and two dinners including gratuities and tax, a wine tour, a light station tour and the activity fee. Interested parties please contact Doreen Pankow at [email protected] to reserve a spot.

Saturday nights are out, and Sunday brunch is in! One of the most successful Holiday Parties in recent memory occurred on December

16, 2012 at the stately and beautiful La Cumbre Country Club in Santa Barbara. One hundred and one of our members and guests attended the gathering, and everyone agreed that the new format and venue were a welcome change. Holiday decorations throughout the elegant dining room, plus a log-burning !replace, enhanced the seasonal celebrations. "e responsive sta# provided excellent service.

"e constant light rain (an unending all-day drizzle) did not a#ect the high spirits of the attendees, but it did substantially reduce the number of Porsches parked by the front entrance. Still, each sedan and SUV carried unwrapped toys to be delivered to Santa Barbara’s Unity Shoppe. "e gi$s were piled high onto a table adjacent to displays of our door prizes and ra%e drawings. Another table contained several items that were to be auctioned. "ey included expensive car care kits manufactured by Porsche, certi!cates for maintenance and service for our Porsches,

and a one-of-a-kind framed poster from our 1996 Concours d’elegance presented at the Sherwood Country Club. "e latter was the !rst of !$y copies bearing the original signatures of Freeman "omas and Jesse Alexander, prominent automobile designer and photographer, respectively.

"e brunch presentation by the country club was utterly superb! "e variety and quality of the o#erings were marvelous. Feel free to ask anyone in attendance, and they will tell you that the setting (overlooking colorful gardens and the lush golf

course) and the menu were outstanding. Champagne and mimosas &owed unabated, the salads and the appetizers and the breakfast items and the prime rib and the side dishes and the dessert plates always amazed and their contents were quickly devoured. "e feeding frenzy ended about 90 minutes a$er the !rst group of members loaded their plates, and the formal agenda for the day was introduced.

(Before the festivities began, the membership observed a moment of silence in remembrance and support of the victims and families in Newtown, CT. "e tragedy

a#ected the entire nation, and the pain and sorrow will remain in the deepest recesses of our collective hearts and souls for decades yet to come.)

Special guests and invitees were introduced and welcomed, and they were followed by expressions of thanks to the several past presidents of our club who were in attendance. Further, members of the 2012 Board of Directors were recognized for their service to the club, and board members who retired from service were presented with unique plaques in honor of their work. We announced that Ted Lighthizer was once again voted 2012 Man of the Year, while Doreen Pankow was the repeat recipient of the 2012 Woman of the Year award. Congratulations! Club secretary Dick Lange certi!ed the election results and declared that the 2013 o'cers will be Doreen Pankow (President), John McNair (Vice President), Dick Lange (Secretary), Steve Kaller (Treasurer), and Barry Weinstein (Activities Chair). Doreen then identi!ed all the other members who will serve on the board for the New Year.

Of course, there were dozens of door prizes presented to just about everyone who attended. "e ra%e followed and then the auction for the aforementioned unique items. Proceeds from the latter two will be presented in equal shares to the Special Olympics Committees of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties at our February 2013 breakfast meetings. "e total funds collected at the party plus those received at the New Members Celebration (via a !$y-!$y ra%e) this past June totaled approximately $2,500.00. "anks to all who contributed to this e#ort.

"e gathering was to recess at 2 p.m., but that did not happen. So many of our members lingered behind to mingle and thereby extend this wonderful occasion. Plans are already under way for the 2013 Holiday Party; stay tuned. =

Third Generation Porsche Cayman MakesAn Impressive Debut At The L.A. Auto Show

STORY & PHOTOS BYJOHN ALFENITO

The 2013 991 Carrera C4S with its distinctive rear re!ector bar.

SBR’s Art Grimmitt enjoying the redesigned Cayman interior.

From any angle the new Cayman looked ready for action.

The Los Angeles Auto Show is always an event a lot of us look forward to. But, when

this prestigious gathering of the industry’s !nest includes the debut of a new Porsche model (or two), the anticipation is only heightened.

Once again this year, Porsche promised a few new “reveals” for the L.A. Auto Show, and we were not disappointed. Making its international debut was the 2013 Porsche Cayman, the third generation of Porsche’s “hardtop Boxster.”

As in previous iterations, the new Cayman will initially be available in two varieties.

"e base Cayman features a 2.7-liter, 275 hp #at six, which with the Sport Chrono package and optional PDK transmission will go 0-60 in 5.1 seconds. "e Cayman S boosts horsepower to 325 in its 3.4-liter power plant and, equipped as above, will hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.

"e Cayman has been re-engineered from top to bottom.

It’s lower, longer, lighter, faster, more e$cient, and more powerful than the model it replaces. It has a longer wheelbase, a wider track and larger wheels. Also, the interior has been redesigned with more space for both occupants.

All the SBR members who were lucky enough to attend PCNA’s early Friday (11/30/12)morning breakfast in Petree

Hall at L.A.’s Convention Center were quite impressed with the subtle, yet complete, transformation of the Cayman’s overall look.

Additionally, the Porsche 991 Carrera C4S made its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Its distinctive red light strip between the rear lights will immediately identify the new all-wheel drive 911. Porsche also showed a Panamera Platinum Edition, which will be available as both two and four-wheel drive models.

"e new Cayman will be in dealerships in the Spring of 2013 starting at $52,600, or $63,800 for the Cayman S. =


The Tech Page

As the daylight hours become shorter, and darkness comes earlier each day, the headlight system on your Porsche is an

appropriate subject for my !rst technical article of 2013. I will brie"y outline the evolution of lighting systems in Porsches and highlight some of the unique features and challenges presented by each.

Traditional headlight bulbs employ a thin, tungsten wire, known as a !lament, located inside a sealed chamber. When an electrical current is run through it, the !lament acts as an electrical resistor, and glows brightly. #e light from the !lament is re"ected by a silver, mirror-like material located behind the bulb, and is then focused by a glass lens that helps to cast the light down the road. For many years, Porsches used “sealed beam” headlights, which refers to a modular headlight design that incorporates the light bulb, re"ector, and headlight lens into a single unit. In the 1940s, the U.S. Department of Transportation mandated that a standardized, round, seven-inch, sealed beam headlight be used in all automobiles sold in the USA. All U.S.-spec Porsches until 1983 were equipped with these units.

HalogensMeanwhile, European Porsche customers

enjoyed halogen headlight bulbs beginning in the 1960s. #ese halogen headlights featured halogen gas-!lled bulbs that allowed the !laments to burn more brightly with a whiter light. #ey also lasted much longer than traditional headlight bulbs.

#e halogen bulbs have since been standardized by light bulb manufacturers

into types and sizes - H1 through H9. #ese bulbs are available separately from the re"ectors and lenses as individual replacement bulbs. #is “composite” headlight design allows automobile manufacturers much more freedom in headlight design, which enhances styling, aerodynamics, and packaging e$ciency.

While halogen bulbs eventually found their way into the U.S. DOT-mandated sealed beam headlights, our government was nonetheless steadfast in upholding the universal headlight design into the 1980s. For many years, European-spec H1 and H4 headlight upgrades have been available in the a%ermarket to convert U.S.-spec sealed beam Porsche headlights, but they are marketed for “o&-road use” only. While the Euro-spec headlight upgrades are arguably a safety upgrade due to their superior lighting characteristics, it is technically illegal to install these headlights onto a street-legal U.S.-spec car due to glare concerns. #e 1987 Porsche 911 was the !rst U.S.-spec car to sport proper H5 headlight technology. #ese 911s are distinct from earlier models with their larger headlight lenses and narrower painted headlight trim rings.

Litronics & HIDs#e next major advance in Porsche

headlight technology came with the introduction of the 1996 911 Turbo, also known as the 993 Turbo. #is "agship Porsche supercar came standard with “Litronic” high-intensity discharge headlights, also known as HID or xenon headlights. #ese superior headlights were subsequently available as an option on all other Porsche models, and are prevalent in many modern cars today.

#e main advantage of HID or xenon headlight systems is that they achieve a much brighter light output and a favorable lighting pattern compared to the highest output halogens. Xenon bulbs emit a distinctive blue/white output in contrast to the yellower light of halogen bulbs. In addition to greater light output, HID systems consume less current than comparable halogen systems despite their electrical complexity.

“Xenon” refers to the type of gas with

which the headlight bulb chamber is !lled. #e bulb contains two tungsten electrodes that replace the traditional !lament wire. When the headlight is activated, an igniter initiates an electrical arc between the two electrodes, much like an ignition coil !res a spark plug. #e initial voltage required to overcome the resistance of the xenon gas and metallic salts inside the bulb can be over 15,000 volts! Once the optimum chemical composition of the bulb’s internal elements is reached, a much lower constant voltage of about 80 volts is maintained by an electronic control unit for each HID bulb. #is control unit is sometimes referred to as a “ballast” because it contains an electronic ballast to help regulate current and voltage in each bulb.

HID headlight bulbs typically take several minutes to “warm up” and reach full lighting capability. For this reason, many !rst generation HID systems, including Porsche’s early Litronic system, use conventional halogen bulbs for the high beam headlights and for "ash-to-pass, as HID bulbs cannot activate quickly enough for these functions. #e newer HID systems use the xenon bulb for both the high and low beam settings and are known as “Bi-xenon” headlights. Each headlight assembly contains a motor that either activates a shroud that covers and uncovers the lens for low and high beam operation, or it moves the entire headlight “pod” up and down.

A major concern pertaining to the design of HID systems is that the brilliant light output has the capability to glare into the vision of oncoming drivers. Most Porsches with HID headlight systems feature an automatic headlight leveling system to ensure that the vertical headlight aim does not change with di&erent passenger and luggage loads. #is feature is required by

PORSCHE HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS ILLUMINATED

HALOGEN SEALED BEAM

BY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS


Chris Andropoulos is the Service Manager and a technician at Schneider Autohaus in Santa Barbara (a Der Auspu! advertiser). Chris is a lifelong Porsche “nut” and is fascinated with and knowledgeable about all Porsches, from 356s to the latest GT3s. When he’s not racing his daily-driven 944 Turbo at PCA and POC track events, he can be found enjoying the beaches, ocean, and mountains of beautiful Santa Barbara.

current European Union regulations to prevent the intense light from HIDs from glaring into oncoming tra!c. Automatic headlight washer systems are also stipulated in the same EU regulations.

"e Porsche automatic leveling system (also known as the HBA system) uses level sensors on the front and rear suspension arms to help determine ride height and thus regulate vertical headlight aim. Care must be taken when suspension work is performed, otherwise the vertical aim of the headlights could be compromised. Headlight aim should be checked whenever major suspension work is performed, such as installing a#ermarket lowering springs or coilover systems.

"e latest Porsche cars are available with the Porsche Dynamic Lighting System (PDLS). PDLS features headlight pods that swivel in response to the onboard steering-angle sensor, enabling the driver to be able to see the road when it becomes curvy. "is system can also change the headlight output and distribution based on vehicle speed.

As with any complex modern electrical system, the HID headlight systems and their requisite leveling and cornering systems can have issues. Xenon headlight bulbs typically last much longer than comparable halogen bulbs, but they do have a limited service life. It can be di!cult to determine if a xenon bulb has failed based on a visual inspection. Sometimes the “globe” inside the bulb can have burnt appearance, but this characteristic is not always present as is the typically obvious broken $lament of a traditional bulb. If a xenon bulb fails, its replacement cost is tenfold that of a halogen bulb at nearly $200!

It also must be noted that the lighting color of a xenon bulb can change as it ages. If a single bulb is replaced, the lighting color

of the new bulb can be slightly di%erent from that of the existing bulb, even if the exact same bulb manufacturer and part number is used. "is in generally not a cause for concern as the color of the light from the newer bulb will gradually become closer to that of the “aged” bulb.

"e igniter elements of HID systems can sometimes fail and cause the headlight to not function. "e electronic control units themselves can also malfunction, and the symptoms can vary from no light output at all to dim or discolored and &ickering headlights. A faulty headlight switch or other electrical issues can also cause &ickering or inoperative headlights in HID-equipped Porsches.

Due to the high voltage output of HID headlight systems and the risk of electrical shock, it is recommended to leave any service or repair of these headlight systems to trained professionals.

My shop does not recommend installing a#ermarket HID conversions into conventional halogen headlight housings. "ere are myriad universal HID conversion kits available on the internet for a very low cost compared to factory components, but they should be avoided. Besides the quality concerns that arise from cheap components, traditional halogen headlights do not contain the proper re&ectors and lenses to e%ectively focus the unique xenon lighting spectrum. "ese bulbs indeed emit a brighter light, but the extra heat they generate can melt the surrounding lenses and bulb holders. "e resultant headlight output will most likely look “cool,” but the lighting pattern could be scattered and di%use and therefore ine%ective and unsafe. "e only proper way to convert a newer Porsche to HID headlights is by using factory components.

All modern Porsches since the 993 series 911 feature removable headlight units that are released by using a special tool that is included in the factory tool kit in the luggage compartment. "e entire headlight unit must be removed for bulb replacement, and care must be taken to ensure that the headlights are properly snapped into place when they are reinstalled. Improper installation can cause poor contact in the electrical connection, leading to dim light bulbs and possible connector damage from electrical resistance.

"e plastic lenses of modern Porsche headlight assemblies can also cloud and

become yellow with oxidation from age and use. Besides being unsightly, this clouding greatly reduces the lighting output of the headlights. Unsurprisingly, replacement lenses are not available separately from complete (expensive) headlight units. Luckily, there are a number of a#ermarket plastic lens polishing kits available that can help to reverse the e%ects of oxidation and clarify severely clouded lenses. While the polished lenses will never be quite as clear as they were when new, the polishing process is an inexpensive way to improve nighttime visibility and safety. Also, the easily removable Porsche headlight units allow for e%ective polishing away from the car without the hassle and worry of masking o% the surrounding painted areas.

It is clear that Porsche lighting systems have been re$ned over the years along with all other onboard systems. By that same token, the headlights in a modern Porsche are designed as a complete system and must be treated as such. Periodic service and headlight aim checks will enable you and your Porsche to drive con$dently into the night and be ready for anything in your path! =
