Besides less functionality, silver head lights on a black car maybe weird.

Glad I still got them (AFAIK) on the GT4 black headlights on Irish green car.

It seems so - doesn't look like you can choose the Black BI-Xenons with PDLS on the GT4RS for some reason.

^^ It was on my original build but when I was playing with it yesterday, they disappeared.
On the build photo, it depicts them as a black housing?

Ask your SA if Bose is available separately. Initially our CGTS 4.0 had both removed, later he found out that Bose was available as a standalone option out side the new Premium Package. The net change was PDLS+ changed to PDLS.

Bose shows up as a stand alone option in the configurator

I hope they're keeping the supply chains up for damaged or failed headlights. Would suck if it took 6 months to repair an accident because headlight unavailable.

This. I am even more happy about my voluntary downgrade to PDLS when specced my car in April (for GTS4.0 not choosing Premium Package at the time was financially disadvantageous, given the cost of ordering ala carte - depending on what other options one wanted).

Not just an accident. The entire assembly needs to be replaced if a LED goes. Or some electronic element built into the lamp. Apparently the only serviceable/replaceable part is the cooling fan on the LED assemblies.

Just an update to my own question earlier, I got an update from my SA. He was able to add on PDLS to my gt4 order even though my build was locked on 7/20. Doesn't seem to have affected my delivery date either.

Saw it yesterday at the Porsche Zentrum. If you look, you’ll see that this car came specced with the PDLS+ since it has the corresponding windshield.

What a flex.

In North America, do the GTS PDLS standard lights come with the headlight cleaning system or is that only on PDLS+? The standard lighting specs for GTS on configurator do not say they have the cleaning system and I only remember seeing this when adding PDLS+. Need to know if I still get painted covers.

Yeah strangely the configurator doesn’t show the washer nozzles on standard PDLS, nor makes any mention of it.

Default Revised config includes BOSE

Am currently V200 with an October 7 lock date (CGTS 4.0, MT). I just received my updated Build Sheet and, as expected, the Premium Package no longer includes PDLS+ or BOSE sound system. The price for Premium Package has been reduced from CAD$4100 to CAD$2250.

Somewhat surprisingly, the BOSE is still in the new build, as a standalone option priced at $1130, way less expensive than the $5400 Burmeister option that I thought I was being forced into.

So, my build cost has been reduced by $720 when all is said and done, certainly less than the value of PDLS+, but I’ll be happy if this configuration locks in 2 weeks!

interesting. I see the reduced PP @ $2250 on configurator but it doesn’t show BOSE as stand alone option?
