PDLS on GT3.2
Because the configurator is not really clear on this point, a couple of RLers expressed some concern about the colour of the bi-xenon PDLS lights potentially being too silver and having to go to the expense of getting LEDs simply to get "black" lights. This made me a bit concerned too as I did not order LEDs.
Well, fear not. The bi-xenon PDLS light are fine. They are quite black. They look good and maintain the panda look, especially on a white car.

Compared to your delivery pics in your previous thread, the lighting for this picture is incredibly dark. The trim on the outside is definitely silver and not dark grey. There is still chrome around the xenon light housing. I have confirmed this in person as well.
While it does look OK with a white car, I still think having the trim and housing black ties in much better with the black plastic pieces on the car and even more so if you have black wheels.
Most importantly, you might be the first to get their GT3! Congrats.

Does anyone have pictures of standard, PDLS and LED for comparison? I've seen a few different pictures in other threads but never the three in the same/similar lighting

I'm on your side 100% with this. Congrats on making what is to me the more attractive decision... the cleaner design of the PDLS+, despite a little bit of non-black, outweighs the blackness of the LED.. and this is leaving aside the price. Congrats on your car... tell us about how it drives!!!!!

Great thinkings on the lights here...
I am going with Xenon PDLS on my car as I prefer the single big lense look than the 2 overlapping lenses of LEDs.
I also like more the 4 nearer dots driving lights to the larger dots + white ring of the LEDs.
The silver plastic surround seems to match perfectly the platinum wheels that I thicked.
Chrome lenses surround is welcome too as it reminds of something classic as 911 is.
About brightness: there is some Xenon vs LEDs videos on YouTube and it seems that yes, with low beams the LEDs are a brighter but Xenons are slightly stronger with high beams....
A couple of Xenons (maybe non PDLS?) should also be 5-6 kgs lighter than a couple on LEDs, so I can spec the lift
