Confirmed with my SA that my order that locked on July 29th has also had PDLS+ removed from the build. *insert long string of curse words here*

I think it is an order stop for model year 2023. I don't think any of us with a 2023 car will be getting them unfortunately.

Well poop, when you login to TYD does it still show PDLS+ or just PDLS now?

Damn that stinks. The HIDs are not a bad headlight but the LEDs are another level.

Well, in another year, we could always buy new LEDs, and sell the used HIDs.... but, it still is terrible!

Seriously changes the look of the car. I am unhappy to say the least.

Wow, what garbage the LED Headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+) are being removed.

Odd, GT4 builder on Porsche website still shows them available.

Also interesting once you lock your build, you cant change it. But Porsche can change it....

After lucking into a stop-sale Cayenne Diesel with PDLS+ LED's several years ago - it's been on my "must" list since and was truly the first option box I checked when building my 2021 Spyder order and would have been one of the last options I would have been willing to give up.

Ouch. The PDLS+ makes the car look amazing when its sitting still and how aggressive it looks with them on/driving, the car honestly does not look as good if you don't have PDLS+. That was one of my requirements when I bought my used Spyder and have a feeling alot will count it as a requirement similar to the nicer headlights on the GT3's.

My 2022 which was ordered by someone who gave it up has the standard headlights.
If my allocation was to come I would want the led headlights, now don’t see a reason to switch to a 2023 if I got a chance.
Maybe this would be temporary.

I was just informed that as of 08/04 PDLS+ and Bose will not be available on base, S and T models. I hope it stays on the Spyder.
