This page covers the 2012 Porsche Panamera and helps you verify bulb sizes by lighting position, so you can match the correct replacement to each lamp on the car. Because Porsche used different lighting setups depending on market, trim, and body style, it is always smart to confirm the bulb type for the exact location before ordering.
For the 2012 Panamera, many exterior rear lighting functions use LED assemblies, while several interior and utility lamps use replaceable bulbs such as 2825/98, 2821, 6418, 7506, D1S, and PH24WY. Use the chart on this page to identify the right bulb for the headlight, tail light, license plate light, dome light, glove box light, and other positions without guessing.
Fitment can vary by trim package, lighting option, and regional specification, so two 2012 Porsche Panamera models may not use the same bulb in every position. Some exterior lights are factory LED units, while others may be halogen-style bulbs or part of an aftermarket conversion. If your car has been modified, or if a previous owner changed a lamp assembly, check the installed bulb before buying replacements. That is especially important for D1S low beams and for LED exterior lamps, since the bulb may be integrated into the housing rather than serviced as a simple plug-in bulb.
