Spoke my dealer about updating my build with the LED and he said that my GT4RS build was frozen due to the PTS color so best to leave it alone. I took his advice because I don't want to have the car delayed anymore than it already is.

Try emailing your Porsche Exclusive rep at PCNA to see if they can do it at Werks1 Exclusive post production.

Thank you for this information. Will the housing be black like the current Bi-Xenons are? This is an important decision for us as I really dislike the look of the stock chrome headlights.

It appears that initial information was incorrect. Looking more like it will be a version of the PDLS+ lamp but no one has actually seen a definitive picture of the headlamp yet, not even at a dealer/PCNA level, so no one can confirm for sure. Hoping that changes soon.

Admittedly a .01% problem, and with gratitude for getting an allocation, and acknowledging all the supply chain issues, here’s my take:
First, on the GT4RS Porsche only offered as options (1) the very basic headlamp, no 4-point DRLs or (2) the Option 602 PDLS+ headlamp, which is desirable if you like the wider 4-point DRL look and/or the fact that it is blacked out. There was no “in between” option like XEW that was blacked out and had the simpler 4-point DRLs, which by the way remained available on the Cayman GTS 4.0.
Then they drop the Option 602 PDLS+ due to supply issues and leave us with the most basic headlamp. Some may be fine with that, I do understand this is what is on the Clubsport cars, but for me having spec’d the car to the max including Weissach package and magnesium wheels, getting unpainted beer cans for headlamps is a disappointment. I inquired about getting the XEW lamps via CXX, but the answer was “not available”.
It’s great to see Porsche is now offering the 634 option, hopefully it is a revised XEW. Unfortunately my build has locked. I’m hoping I can get these installed after the fact, depending on wiring and programming etc.

I wonder if the headlights can be taken apart? I would be ok with just pairing the chrome projector housing. Anything to get rid of the chrome.
