Right? What am I missing here? I actually have no idea what color the headlights are on my current cars.

As there is a material $2900 difference in price, when you are actually speccing your car this is a major choice. Just like wheel color, just like paint color, just like stitching etc. or are you just telling your dealer.. "give me a car, any car.. I don't care what it is".
Please, contribute meaningfully, lurk and don't post.. or just move along. But don't troll.

Not sure why my post was taken as trolling so let me elaborate a little.
My comment was specifically about headlight color. There's been so much talk about black vs grey vs silver headlight colors that I've seriously wondered what it is that I'm missing. I have very strong opinions about wheel color but not headlight colors. Ultimately, I get to save some money to spend on other silly things like red seat belts so all good. But I'm a car guy, and when other car guys talk/debate something, I usually have an opinion. In this case, I feel left out as I'm not grasping the topic of debate.
And since you asked...I placed my deposit for the GT3 two years ago and I am #11 at my dealer. They received 6 in the first round so I'm hoping my number is called next round. I have spent countless hours on here and on the GT3 configurator going back and forth on paint color, seat belt color, lift no lift, etc as I'm sure many others on here do. I did the same for my GT4 and a little bit on my Macan. Also, I don't drive my weekend cars much at night, and I when I do, it's in the city/suburbs so I ruled out LEDs. Have swiveling headlights in one car now, but don't in two others and I can live without it.

I'm still lost on the PDLS 'option' on the configurator. I thought PDLS was standard, as I don't want it but can't figure out how to remove it. I would ditch PDLS if I could get rid of the headlight washers. I assume the $720 PDLS gets black housings?

PDLS is not standard.
Regardless of PDLS, you get the headlight washer and there is no way to remove them; this is not a GT4
Standard lights is Bi-Xenon no PDLS. The $720 gets you Bi-Xenon PDLS with DARKER housing (not exactly black).
Ah, got it. I'll probably skip it. I like the grey housing. I have the base lights on my C2S and they're fine. And, at least on that car, no headlight washers! Why do they call them headlight washers anyway? The should call them 'frunk lid water spotters'.
Relax CAlexio. We are not trying to troll, at least, I'm not.
I just couldn't care less about headlights and what color they are. It's funny to me how much thought some guys put in it (but which I do respect, to each his own) ! I just wanna enjoy and drive my car. Headlights are not going to help me with that, as I do not drive it at night. It's my weekend and trackday toy.
BTW, mine is at the dealer as of last week (almost a month late due to QC troubles) being prepped for Tuesday delivery.

Congrats on your car arriving then. I guess I don't understand, did you just not pay much attention to any of the options? Lights are a pretty big component with this model especially.. this whole forum is focused on tiny details, have you ever seen the discussion on the relative value of the interior light design package?... pages long.
Trust me, I paid A LOT of attention to the options. I made what felt like a million configs on the online configurator and weeded through the option list with a fine comb. Had a gazillion back and forths about quite a bit of options. I lost nights of sleep over them. Bugged my wife, my friends, my dealer about them. I'm just lucky to have rennlist as extra guidance.
I did tick the "transformers" option box though ;-)
Does anyone know if the black PDLS lights from the GT3.1 generation can be installed on a GT3.2 (assuming you can source them)? They have the proper fully black housings, rather than the current dark grey type... Wondering if they'll work without trouble, or throw a code.

The 991.2 lights physically mount differently than the 991.1. They now bolt in with the bumper removed rather than disconnect through the frunk. The .2 non-LED (base and PDLS) also have built in DRLs now, so I suspect there are some wiring / controller differences.
I too wish Porsche offered a true black PDLS without the chrome and gray trim. If you can get ahold of .1 and .2 lights side by side, it’d be worth some experiments to see what could be done.
