Those pictures have been heavily edited, especially the red one.. I so WISH guards red was deep red like that instead of orange-y...
... But yes, black headlights take the cake in my opinion

Is this an OEM option or aftermarket purchase?

The only thing I've seen dark are the Cayman rear lights.

If you could order the led with them I probably would have. The LED are much more worth it IMO

Interesting, personal taste I guess. I've just ordered the black headlight conversion kit from Suncoast today based on the pic of the white GT3 above, I think they look best on the white and the black.

Got this option on white after seeing a customer 991 C2. I wish it was LED but I decided to take the black over LED. Porsche screwed up by not haveing BLK LED as an option.

Let it go, Alex... In direct sunlight the orange does come out. In other light the pic above is pretty close. I've taken plenty of unedited photos that look a lot like that one. It's a Porsche not a Ferrari and GR is a classic Porsche color. Some like it others don't. I like it.... (I get that it would be nice to have a choice )

standard xenon (silver/chrome) free
xenon with PDLS (grey) $770
xenon with PDLS and black $1375
LED (grey, not available in black) $3110

I went with xenon/PDLS in grey. Matches the wheels and saved $600....
