Though Porsche is known for its highperformance levels, a common issue many Porsche owners have is dim headlights.

Headlights that do not project a bright enough beam can prevent other drivers from seeing you clearly.

There are a few reasons behind the dimming of headlights in your Porsche.

The alternator supplies your car with electrical power by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

If your alternator has failed or is close to failing, it won't be able to produce enough electricity including for your headlights.

The battery supplies the initial surge of electricity needed to start the engine.

If your battery has lost its charge or isn't holding a charge well, there may not be enough power for your lights.

The easiest way for your headlights to go dim is if one or both of the bulbs isn't screwed in tight enough.

You can check this by looking at the backside of the headlight assembly and tightening the screws if they are loose.

If the bulbs are screwed down tight, then one or more of your bulbs may have simply burnt out.

You can change the bulbs & even then if the issues persist, then there is something else wrong with your car.

Your dimmer switch controls whether or not your headlights are on high beam or low beam.

If the dimmer switch is broken, you may experience a flickering between high and low beams or no lights at all.

A burned-out or a frayed wiring harness can also cause dim headlights since it can hinder the flow of electricity.

This is usually caused by corrosion due to exposure to heat, water, or snow.

It is also possible that corroded terminals/connectors are causing dim headlight issues.

You can clean them up and reconnect them if they have corrosion on them.

Here are some helpful tips:

Regularly clean your headlights with the proper car shampoo and a soft sponge.

If this doesn't help, try rubbing them with toothpaste and then buff them with a headlight lens polishing compound.

Corrosion can build up on battery terminals and electrical connectors and cause problems like intermittent power loss.

You can use a wire brush and baking soda solution to clean off any corrosion.
