You should buy the PDLS+ headlights from that parted out spyder on e-bay. I bet the price of them will go up soon.

Based on the DIY guide someone else has posted, it is NOT a plug-and-play retrofit. It looks extremely intrusive and complicated for the average person. I'd love to see someone show me otherwise because the PDLS and base lights are fundamentally the same kind of bi-xenon lights so there should be a similar path from base or PDLS to PDLS+. I don't see how PDLS makes it an easier path to PDLS+. I would prefer if statements such as this one below are substantiated with the procedure and parts needed before stating it as fact. No SA I've ever met is qualified to talk about the specific wiring and components of internal systems of the car I'm buying from them.

I read that the first time. Some people believe in ghosts too. What I’m asking you to do is to substantiate your/his claim before repeating it as fact.

Bi-Xenon™ Headlights in Black with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
Includes:
- Bi-Xenon™ Headlights in Black - Bi-Xenon™ headlights with automatic headlight leveling.
- Dynamic Cornering Light - Dynamic cornering lights swivel the low beam in accordance with cornering characteristics, depending on the steering angle.
- Speed-Dependent Headlight Range Control - Speed-dependent headlight range control increases light distribution after 3,300 feet at 68 mph or higher, or immediately after 81 mph and above provided the steering wheel is not turned sharply.
- Headlight Cleaning System - Washer system used to clean the headlight housing in order to effectively maintain optimal lighting while vehicle is in use.
This is the reason that the upgrade from the base lights are so difficult to PDLS+

Again, this doesn’t say anything about the process and parts needed to do it. Show me how PDLS
makes the process different from the guide above.

The base headlights do not have the PSLS functions as follows:

The delivery fluctuated back and forth between 9/23 and 10/27, not at 10/07.

Personally, I like the PDLS lights better than the standard lights, so I will upgrade to PDLS anyway.

Why 4rs doesnt have the pdls option?! C’mooon porsche. I got 38 days until lock. Make it happen.
If not, im planning to tint the headlights a bit yellow and idgaf if they delaminate because it will hide the chrome catfish eye nipples. Silver lining is less tech and less weight. RS

I don't know how to make it more clear, but I will try again. 1) My SA "believes" the PDLS lights are the best to start with since many of the features are the same as the PDLS+. 2) therefore, the wiring and changes will likely be less than if you started from the base lights. I also have mentioned many times above, this is simply initial feedback from my SA, and I am waiting on further clarification.
Personally, I like the PDLS lights better than the standard lights, so I will upgrade to PDLS anyway.

Now, upgrading to PDLS because you like it more, that's a good enough reason. But suggesting it's "easier to retrofit", the first thing anyone remotely technically inclined is going to ask is "why?". And right now, you and everyone else is waiting on further clarification.
Make sense?

All you clarified was exactly the point TXRubicon was making. The claim is completely unsubstantiated.
