Please let me know if your Taycan lights the right and left corner light at a full stop. For example, at a stop sign turning right or left. The way the manual is written, it seems like the functions of PDLS + come on once the vehicle reaches 3 Mile per hour. Does this mean at a full stop and turning the wheel, there will be no illumination towards the street you are turning into. My Taycan does not do this, but the Macan I have does this perfectly. I just wanted to see if I should take it to the dealer or none of the Taycans have this option.

There is no corner light like in other Porsches, just the dynamic cornering lights like you describe

Related: I believe the behavior of my PDLS+ changed about 3 months ago, coinciding with one of the software upgrades. When I first got the car a year ago, the cornering behavior of the Taycan PDLS+ was the same as in my 2017 Boxster. In the Boxster, it is quite easy to see that the headlights are traversing in concert with the steering wheel inputs. The Taycan was the same up until around the time of that update. Now, the headlights appear to be moving very little (if at all) in response to steering inputs.

I subsequently had the car to the dealer for another issue & asked them to check PDLS while they had it on hand. The techs claimed to haveout it on a lift and ran it 3 MPH+ and observed “proper operation”.

We have some nice curvy roads near us, I’m thinking of getting my wife to sit in the passenger seat of both cars and take videos of each PDLS to show to the service department.

I was thinking this morning that there's a round about near my house, and I was going to stand in the center and have my wife drive around it. I feel it's better that I stand watch since I know what to look for, and I'd feel more comfortable seeing it for myself rather than taking someone else's words for it.
