Default Bi-Xenon Headlights in Black

Has anyone gotten this option? Do you like it? Can you post pics?

What I can't tell is whether or not this option makes the front parking light lenses black (or darkened) as well?

Thanks!

Doesn't make the lenses black. Just the background of the lights.

Rhodium Silver
Bi-Xenon Headlights in Black incl. PDLS
Since these photos taken (1/06/2014) have replaced original amber front side lights with clear OEMs (which does have very focal amber bulb within light housing) which provide improved esthetics to front end.
... very happy with result.

^^^ Mate Im sure it will look like a million $$$. I havent seen the black on white in the flesh and these cars (especially in white) look so different in real life than the pictures that its futile guessing. Good news is even if you didnt like them youd have a tonne of guys here wanting to swap them with cash for the standard dark grey PDLS version anyway to make their silver and red cars look more sinister - win win either way you look at it!

Mine will be black as well. I have seen it on a white 991 C2 and it looks awesome. It will look even better on Gt3 white. This option is a no brainer. You will see.

Hope someone here takes delivery soon with the black pdls on white so we can get better pictures. The oily/rainbow reflection on the linked pics make it hard to tell. I am worried it looks too bug eyed on white so hope to see more pics soon.

Agreed. We need better pics.

That said, I initially thought these may go better with the standard wheels as the wheels are much darker in person than pics indicate. However, with the black wheels the lights seem to absorb some of the dark tone and match very well. Again, pics are hard to tell. I still think the black PDLS will look amazing. I would love to see the above silver car with a silver crest on the hood.

Just for reference, this is a pic of the regular PDLS with the standard gray trim, not the extra cost black. But in terms of being a match for the standard wheels, these are just about perfect, IMHO.

There was a screw up in the part delivery; the thermostat went to a dealer in Sacramento instead of mine. Supposed to be here and get installed tomorrow so I've been without the car this weekend. . I never had an overheating issue in the first place; I think this is precautionary on the part of my dealer. Hopefully all will be well....
