Really surprised this option is deleted. I don't see the same on any of the 992s or SUVs. Curious what was the rationale behind this as I think the LEDs are fantastic. Even though I don't have an allocation, I am just as disappointed

If you don't get PDLS + do you get the bi xenon's? I know LED is whiter and brighter apart from that is there a big difference in brightness?

does it affect the GTS as well as PDLS + is part of premium package?

I asked for the Bi-Xenon™ Headlights in Black with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) instead. Hopefully I get those. Not a fan of the standard headlights design wise…

does the Xenon with Black have tinted lenses? Or clear?

Their told me they can’t hold the build. They ship the car with the parts available and move on…

No idea re GTS. It probably does.

yeah I wasn't planning on holding the build. I just wonder if selecting the PDLS lights now will affect the tentative build date since it's technically making a change to your build. Build changes close to the freeze date are known to delay production in some instances.

I’m a huge fan of the PDLS+ for both aesthetics and function - I feel for you guys. I would be very disappointed as well.

maybe not a big deal... I got PDLS+ but other options I want now I did not get like leather interior and PCCB. Ill live cause the car really is a bit of a hooligan/beater anyway as far as these things go. Ill do better with options on the next one!

Demand a discount in the ADM equal to the value of the cost difference in the lights.
First world problems are the best kind.
